Day-Date 40 Oyster, 40 mm, Everose gold 228235

The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, in gold on this Day-Date 40.

    Fluted bezel
    A Rolex signature
    An exclusive patent
    To preserve the beauty of its pink gold watches, Rolex created and patented an exclusive 18 ct pink gold alloy cast in its own foundry: Everose gold.
    Introduced in 2005, 18 ct Everose is used on all Rolex Oyster models in pink gold.
    The President bracelet
    The ultimate refinement
    The design, development and production of Rolex bracelets and clasps, as well as the stringent tests they face, involve advanced high technology.
    And, as with all the components of the watch, aesthetic controls by the human eye guarantee impeccable beauty. The President bracelet, with its semi-circular three piece links, was created in 1956 for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date. It represents the ultimate in refinement and comfort and is always made of carefully selected precious metals.
