Rolex Day-Date 40 Olive Green Everose Gold reference 228235
The Rolex Day-Date is a piece of history. Acquired by high achievers as a testament of their accomplishments, also known as the president watch to highlight the significance of its presence on the wrist.
One of the most sought-after configurations of the Rolex Day-Date is the Olive Green Dial in 40mm & Everose gold configuration, with the precedent bracelet. When you start to look at what this watch has to offer, you immediately realize why this piece is so special & spectacular. We have previously reviewed and showcased the exact same Olive green Day Date in white gold on our YT channel. This time, what we have is something a little more special, and why is it so, let’s take a look into that.
Material Choice:
Let’s start off with the flesh of 18ct Everose gold which is beautiful and elegant at the same time. Now why we say it is elegant is because of the shade of the metal that Everose has to offer. It is warmer than stainless and white gold, but a lot colder or lesser yellow than yellow gold. What you experience with the Rolex Day-Date 40 Olive Green Everose Gold watch is its ever so slight blingy presence to it, without being too loud and in your face as you may experience with the yellow gold.
Case Size:
The case size of 40mm is just the perfect sweet spot for a large community of watch enthusiasts. If you have owned or experienced the Rolex DJ41 & DJ36, you might have run into dilemma of one being a touch too big and other being a little too small leaving no option for you in the Rolex DateJust range to find a size that you may call home. Here you have the Day-Date in 40mm, which could give you the best of both worlds.

The Rolex Day-Date is a highly sought after watch and is also available at calibre24.
Fluted Bezel:
Here’s that fluted bezel that plays with the light beautifully. Due to the dimensional difference with the Datejust range, the experience of the fluted bezel with the Rolex Day-Date 40 Olive Green Everose Gold on the wrist is arguably slightly different so you can’t quite say that the Day-Date experience can be had with the DJ on the wrist.
President Bracelet & Rolex Hidden Clasp:
The Rolex Day-Date 40 Olive Green Everose has a beautiful President bracelet which is special, as it is offered only in the Day-Date range. The bracelet comes with the hidden Rolex clasp, which currently is only offered in the Day Date range. If you don’t know, Rolex actually offered a similar hidden clasp in the Datejust range earlier too but those were discontinued a decade ago to replace with the current generation of clasp on the DJ, making this particular clasp style signature to Day-Date.
The Dial:
The star of the show is that spectacularly beautiful dial that doesn’t take too long to impress & mesmerize with the play of light and the shades of green it has to offer. This Olive Green dial in itself is special as it’s vastly different than the Mint green offered in the DJ range. There’s then Roman numeral indices giving that signature Day-Date vibes and looks making this particular timepiece a watch of its own league and like no other Rolex in the catalogue. The finish on the dial is sunburst and to say it is a beauty to behold is an understatement.
Wrist appearance:
The Rolex Day-Date 40 Olive Green Everose wears no less than what you’d expect from a masterpiece of this calibre.
- The beautiful size and proportions add to the looks
- Coupled with the President bracelet, it is simply a pleasure to look at.
- The everose gold is subtle and classy, it’s not too loud and flashy. But it’s also not too understated and will not go un-noticed, rather it offers that subtle and slightly noticeable wrist presence that you would expect when buying this particular model in Olive dial.
The warmness of the everose aligning in perfect harmony with the warmness of the Olive green is simply a winner combination. If you wondered all this time why the Rolex Day-Date 40 Olive Green Everose are so popular and sought after, seeing the details under the high-resolution shots, now you possibly know exactly why this piece is so special.
