Now available, a Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228396TBR in platinum with factory baguette-cut diamond bezel and matching baguette-cut diamond ice blue dial.

Few watches communicate quiet confidence quite like a platinum Day-Date. To the untrained eye, it may appear understated. To those who know, it sits firmly at the very top of the Rolex hierarchy. Add an ice blue dial - a colour reserved exclusively for platinum references - alongside a factory baguette-cut diamond bezel and matching baguette diamond hour markers, and the result is one of the most impressive contemporary Day-Dates the manufacture has ever produced.

The combination is exceptional. The cool tones of the platinum case and bracelet pair beautifully with the soft ice blue dial, whilst the perfectly executed baguette-cut diamonds provide just the right amount of brilliance without ever overwhelming the design. It is a configuration that feels effortlessly luxurious, showcasing Rolex’s remarkable ability to blend precious materials and gem-setting with restraint and elegance. Of course, much of the appeal of a platinum Day-Date can only truly be appreciated once worn. The substantial weight of the metal is unlike anything else in the Rolex catalogue, giving the watch an unmistakable presence on the wrist. Combined with the iconic President bracelet and the perfectly proportioned 40mm case, it delivers an experience that few watches can match.

This particular example dates to 2022 and comes directly from its original owner. Having been worn only lightly throughout its life, it remains in exceptional overall condition, showing very little evidence of wear and importantly remaining unpolished. It is offered complete with its entirety of accessories from new, including its original warranty card, white tag, literature, and the desirable XL Rolex presentation box. A flagship Rolex in every sense of the word - beautifully specified, wonderfully preserved, and representative of the very best of the modern Day-Date collection. The watch is available for viewing in London and purchase worldwide. Please get in touch for further information.
