What Makes the Day-Date Special:
Introduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date made history as the world’s first wrist chronometer to display both the date and the day of the week spelled out in full. Dubbed the "President" due to its association with global leaders, titans of industry, and cultural figures, the Day-Date has continuously served as Rolex's ultimate symbol of luxury and prestige. The reference 228206 represents the modern 40mm evolution of this flagship model, engineered with refined case architecture and powered by the latest-generation Calibre 3255 automatic movement.
What makes this particular reference 228206 an absolute trophy piece is its combination of solid 950 platinum construction and the legendary ice blue dial. Rolex reserves ice blue exclusively for its platinum creations, making it an instant indicator of high-end horological weight. Paired with ten factory baguette-cut diamond hour markers, the light-refracting dial balances subtle, understated tones with high-jewellery sophistication. Framed by a smooth platinum bezel and fitted to the iconic semi-circular three-piece President bracelet, the watch possesses an unmistakable wrist presence and formidable heft.
Underneath the ice blue dial, reference 228206 is driven by the manufacture Calibre 3255 automatic movement. Offering a weekend-proof 70-hour power reserve, high resistance to magnetic fields and shocks, and high chronometric precision (-2/+2 seconds per day), it sits at the absolute peak of modern Swiss engineering. Preserved as a true New Old Stock (NOS) complete set with its new-style 2020 guarantee card, this platinum baguette Day-Date 40 is a pinnacle investment piece.
