PRE-OWNED ROLEX 228235 DAY-DATE 40 WATCHES
Production Years:
Released in 2015, the Rolex Day-Date 228235 marks the entrance of the Day-Date 40 series to the market, hence bringing the collection into the 40mm period of sophistication, which, although still new, is already famous, because the history of the collection began back in 1956. However, the main difference between the 228235 and previous vintage models is that this model continues to be part of the Rolex catalogue.
The introduction of this model coincides with the dependent change in the mechanism. Calibre 3255 was released exactly in 2015 and this movement appeared in Day-Date 40 in the same year. So users will definitely understand that they got modern movement technology associated with classical Day-Date desgin.
Reference 228235 is still found in Rolex's collection nowadays, and there are various dial options presented inside the Everose casing. Thus, customers interersted in pre-owned watch items can choose from different models, concentrating both on the condition of the watch as an individual model and the dial configuration they like.
Defining Features
Everose gold is what brings uniqueness to the 228235 model. Rolex invented and patented its 18ct pink gold mixture and now manufactures it in its own foundry. The reference 228235 features Everose gold in its 40mm Oyster case and the President bracelet, thus achieving unification of the watch in terms of precious metal material.
The fluted bezel also makes a significant point in the assembly of the 228235, as it features scratch resistant sapphire glass with a Cyclops lens covering the date window. The Oyster case uses a screw done case back and Twinlock screw down, crown, which gives the watch 100m water resistance.
The movement in the Rolex 228235 is Calibre 3255, which is an automatic mechanical movement with a power reserve of about 70 hours. The functions include hours, minutes, and seconds display, as well as quick calendar setting. Rolex correlates the accuracy of this watch to within a maximum deviation of 2 seconds.
The President bracelet continues a design created specifically for the launch of the Day-Date in 1956. Its semicircular three-piece links are paired with a concealed Crownclasp, while ceramic inserts inside the links are designed to improve flexibility and longevity.
Dial choice can change the personality of the 228235 considerably. Among the combinations officialy offered by Rolex is an olive green dial with the Everose gold case, fluted bezel and President bracelet, creating one of the references's particularly recognisable congfigurations.
About Rolex Day-Date Model Number 228235
The 228235 takes a very different approach to the Day-Date from earlier 36mm references. Its 40mm case gives the watch greater wrist presence, but Rolex has retained the design elements that have identified the collection for decades.
At 12 o'clock, the day of the week is written in full rather than abbreviated. The date sits at 3 o'clock beneath the Cyclops lens. Both displays change instantaneously, and Rolex offers the day indication in a choice of 26 languages across the Day-Date collection.
Everose gold is particularly important to the identity of this reference. Rather than combining different metals, the 228235 carries its pink gold character through the Oyster case and President bracelet. The fluted bezel adds another traditional Day-Date detail to an otherwise distinctly modern 40mm watch.
Calibre 3255 provides the technical side of that modern character. Rolex developed and manufactures the movement in-house, incorporating its Chronergy escapement, blue Parachrom hairspring and high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers. Its approximately 70 hour power reserve also allows the watch to be set aside for a weekend without necessarily requiring rewinding when it is worn again.
For someone considering a pre-owned Day-Date, the 228235 therefore offers more than simply a larger case. It combines the traditional day and date display and President bracelet with Everose gold, a modern Rolex movement and the proportions of the Day-Date 40.
