Notes: One of the utmost prestigious watch in the Rolex catalog since 1956, the Day-Date, also known as the “President’s” watch garnered a loyal following with its remarkable canvas of dial configuration, case metal and sizes. Originally begin its mark with the iconic 36 mm oyster case with the ref. 1800 series, the Day-Date launched the Day-Date II in 2008 with a 41 mm in response to the evolving taste. In 2015, Rolex further refined the size of this icon with a 1 mm reduction, The Day-Date 40. With a leaner profile compared it its predecessor, the model span across precious metal: yellow gold, white gold, pink gold and the noble platinum. At the same time, Rolex also introduced a new movement at Baselworld 2015, the caliber 3255 which innovates with its in-house Parachrom balance, reformulated lubricants and Rolex Chronoergy escapement. 

Presented in a stunning condition, the present Day-Date 40 ref. 28396TBR not only ticks the boxes for unparalleled accuracy and opulence, but most attractive of all, rarity. Cased in the coolness of platinum, the sublime sunburst ice-blue dials are reserved exclusively for platinum models, making this timepiece one hard to ignore. A breath of freshness surrounded by the brilliance of a baguette-diamond set bezel. Complete with its full accessories, this hefty Day-Date 40 is exquisite.
