Rolex Day-Date 40 'Platinum Meteorite Dial' – Reference 228236 (2025) TA

Heritage Narrative

The Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228236 represents the highest tier of Rolex’s classic lineup, combining the brand’s flagship Day-Date design with full platinum construction. As the model historically associated with Rolex’s most prestigious executions, the Day-Date is defined by its signature day display at 12 o’clock and date at 3 o’clock, paired with the iconic President bracelet.

This example from 2025 is presented new and offered as a full set. The watch features a meteorite dial, distinguished by its naturally occurring crystalline pattern, making each dial visually unique. The meteorite surface introduces depth and texture that cannot be replicated through standard dial manufacturing, giving the watch a rare and highly collectible character. The clean, numeral-free layout reinforces the dial’s visual presence while preserving the classic Day-Date proportions.

Powering the watch is Rolex’s in-house calibre 3255, a self-winding Perpetual mechanical movement engineered for precision, durability, and long-term reliability. Featuring instantaneous day and date functionality, the calibre 3255 incorporates Rolex’s Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring, and advanced efficiency architecture, delivering a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.

The 40 mm platinum Oyster case and platinum fluted bezel provide a distinctive yet understated presence, with platinum offering a unique tone and weight that sets it apart from white gold or steel. The platinum President bracelet completes the watch’s flagship identity, combining comfort, refinement, and unmistakable Day-Date design language.

Presented new with its original box and warranty, this Day-Date 40 228236 offers a rare combination of Rolex’s most exclusive metal with one of its most sought-after dial materials.
