Rolex DayDate 40 Platinum Ice Blue Index Dial Ref: 228236 2025

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Platinum Ice Blue Index Dial Ref. 228236 represents the pinnacle of Rolex prestige, reserved exclusively for the brand’s most luxurious material: 950 platinum. Introduced in its updated 40mm form in 2015, this reference continues the legacy of the original Day-Date of 1956, the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week spelled out in full and the date—a complication that remains central to its identity. The watch is powered by Rolex’s state-of-the-art Calibre 3255, a next-generation self-winding movement offering a 70-hour power reserve, enhanced precision, and superior shock and magnetic resistance thanks to its Chronergy escapement. Its signature ice-blue sunburst dial, reserved only for Rolex platinum models, distinguishes it instantly to collectors, while the fluted bezel (reintroduced in platinum in 2023) and President bracelet reinforce its elite status. Historically, the Day-Date has been known as the “President’s Watch,” worn by heads of state, global leaders, and icons of influence, symbolizing ultimate success and authority. Within the Rolex lineup, the 228236 sits at the absolute top—combining technical mastery, precious metal exclusivity, and timeless design into what many consider the most prestigious dress watch Rolex produces.
