Rolex Day-Date 228236-0011 Meteorite Diamond Dial 40mm Platinum Men’s Watch

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228236-0011 is an extraordinary expression of exclusivity, blending the prestige of platinum with a bold meteorite dial and refined detailing. This model stands as a statement of both craftsmanship and rarity.

Crafted in 950 platinum, the 40 mm case features Rolex’s signature fluted bezel, creating a striking interplay of light and form. The Oyster architecture—monobloc middle case, screw-down case back, and Twinlock crown—ensures robustness and water resistance up to 100 meters.

The standout feature is the meteorite dial, with its unique crystalline pattern formed over millennia. This one-of-a-kind surface is paired with baguette-cut diamond hour markers set in white gold, combining celestial character with high jewelry elegance. The layout retains the hallmarks of the Day-Date line: full day display at 12 o’clock and a date window at 3 o’clock, magnified by the Cyclops lens for clarity.

Inside, the watch is powered by Rolex’s Caliber 3255—a self-winding movement manufactured in-house. It offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve and meets Rolex’s rigorous Superlative Chronometer standards. The movement leverages the Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers to deliver efficiency, precision, and resilience.

The President bracelet, also cast in platinum, features semi-circular three-piece links for comfort and elegance. A concealed Crownclasp preserves the seamless aesthetic from case to bracelet.
