Heritage Narrative
The Rolex Day-Date, introduced in 1956, has long represented the pinnacle of the brand’s craftsmanship and prestige. Known as the “President’s Watch,” it was the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week and the date spelled out in full — a defining innovation in horology. Crafted exclusively in precious metals, the Day-Date embodies Rolex’s highest standard of refinement, power, and precision.
This 2024 example, reference 228239, showcases a spectacular meteorite dial, formed from a genuine slice of an ancient iron-nickel meteorite that fell to Earth thousands of years ago. Each dial displays a unique crystalline pattern, making every piece one of a kind. The 40 mm case, bracelet, and clasp are all crafted in solid 18k white gold, offering a perfect balance of weight, brilliance, and comfort. Powered by the Calibre 3255, Rolex’s latest-generation movement, it delivers a 70-hour power reserve and unrivaled accuracy. Presented in mint condition and complete with its full set — box, certificate, and booklets — it remains under international Rolex warranty until November 2029, ensuring lasting peace of mind.
