Heritage Narrative
Since its debut in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date has stood as the pinnacle of prestige within the Rolex collection—crafted exclusively in precious metals and worn by world leaders, artists, and visionaries. Known as the “President’s Watch,” it remains an enduring symbol of achievement and refinement.
The reference 228396TBR represents the ultimate modern expression of the Day-Date, executed in solid 950 platinumand fitted with a breathtaking natural meteorite dial. Formed from fragments of iron-nickel meteorites that crystallized over millions of years, each dial is completely unique, displaying intricate Widmanstätten patterns that make every watch one-of-a-kind. Surrounding it is a factory-set diamond bezel, adding brilliance to the cool hue of platinum while maintaining the model’s elegant proportions.
This 2023 example is brand new and complete with its full set of box, certificate, and booklets. It combines horological heritage, astronomical rarity, and Rolex’s most exclusive craftsmanship into one exceptional timepiece.
