Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 – Black Dial with Roman Numerals

The Rolex Day-Date 40, Ref. 228235, is a masterpiece of precision and luxury, crafted entirely from 18k Everose Gold, Rolex’s proprietary, fade-resistant rose gold alloy. This version features a deep Black Lacquer Dial contrasted by applied Roman Numeral hour markers and gold hands. The watch maintains the classic elements of the "President's Watch"—the iconic Fluted Bezel and the distinct President Bracelet.
