About this watch

Sundust baguette-cut diamonds create an extraordinary textural landscape across this Everose gold Day-Date 40, transforming the classic presidential watch into a study of geometric luxury. The 228235 reference showcases Rolex's mastery of rose gold case construction at 40mm, where the proprietary Everose alloy maintains its warm hue indefinitely without the tarnishing common to traditional rose gold formulations. Each baguette-cut diamond on the sundust dial catches light differently, creating depth and movement that shifts dramatically from wrist angle to wrist angle. The fluted bezel's traditional ridged profile provides the perfect counterpoint to the dial's contemporary diamond geometry.

Key Features & Specifications

  • Sundust Baguette Diamond Dial — Rectangular-cut diamonds arranged in precise rows create a shimmering surface that plays with light across multiple planes, offering a modern interpretation of diamond-set horology
  • Everose Gold Construction — Rolex's proprietary 18k rose gold alloy combines gold, copper, and platinum for enhanced durability and permanent color retention in the 40mm case
  • Fluted Bezel Heritage — The iconic ridged bezel design originally served a functional purpose for waterproofing but has evolved into one of watchmaking's most recognizable aesthetic elements
  • President Bracelet Integration — Three-piece link construction with concealed clasp creates seamless flow from case to wrist, maintaining the Day-Date's signature presidential elegance
  • Dual Calendar Display — Full day spelling at 12 o'clock and instantaneous date change at 3 o'clock demonstrate Rolex's mechanical precision in calendar complications
  • Sapphire Crystal Protection — Anti-reflective coating on both sides of the scratch-resistant crystal ensures optimal dial legibility while protecting the diamond indices
  • Unworn Collector Condition — Factory-fresh presentation with original protective elements intact, representing the highest tier of contemporary Rolex collecting
