The king of Rolex Day-Date 40, in Platinum 228236 with the most iconic and sought after Ice-blue Roman dial with a beautiful dark blue seconds hand, fluted bezel and President bracelet.
The ice-blue dial is the discreet and exclusive signature of a Rolex platinum watch. Rolex uses platinum, the noblest of metals, for the finest of watches.
This exclusive dial colour can be found only on the Day-Date, the Cosmograph Daytona and the Perpetual 1908.
Rare and precious, platinum is striking for its silvery whiteness and vibrant luminosity. It is among the densest and heaviest metals in the world, distinguished by unique chemical and physical properties such as exceptional corrosion resistance.
Paradoxically, it is also soft, elastic and highly malleable, which makes machining and polishing especially difficult, demanding an extremely high degree of skill. Rolex always uses 950 platinum, an alloy consisting of 950‰ (thousandths) platinum, painstakingly crafted in-house by the fine metalworkers at Rolex. The noblest of metals for the finest of watches.
The Rolex Day-Date 40 in platinum with ice-blue dial is offered in Brand New and unworn condition. It is also a fresh and local Australian stock dated Q3 2024 with the balance of Rolex factory warranty until Q3 2029. The watch comes as full set with factory presentation boxes in XL size — a nod to the top-of-the-line watches from the brand — along with factory papers and tag. The delivery contents are included in the photos.
