About this watch

Introduced in 2015 as part of Rolex's modernization of the Day-Date collection, the reference 228396TBR elevated the prestigious line with its 40mm platinum case and mesmerizing ice blue quadrant motif dial. This particular configuration represents Rolex's mastery of precious metal craftsmanship, utilizing 950 platinum throughout the case construction while the ice blue dial creates an almost ethereal luminosity unique to platinum Day-Date models. The quadrant motif pattern adds dimensional depth through subtle geometric segmentation, transforming light across the dial surface in ways that distinguish it from standard sunburst or smooth finishes. Each 228396TBR demonstrates Rolex's commitment to horological artistry within their most exclusive presidential timepiece.
