Rolex Day Date 40mm Green 228238

Green Dial

Depth and Craftsmanship

The lacquered green dial offers exceptional colour richness and a perfectly smooth finish. Lacquering allows for remarkable creative freedom, delivering vibrant tones with outstanding intensity. The process involves carefully applying multiple thin layers of lacquer onto a brass base, building depth and precision with each stage.

A transparent protective coating is then added to enhance the colour’s brilliance and visual depth. After drying, the dial surface is finely polished to achieve a refined shine. It is then completed with precise printing and the application of markers, resulting in a beautifully detailed and elegant finish.

Fluted Bezel

A Timeless Rolex Signature

The fluted bezel is one of Rolex’s most iconic design elements, instantly recognizable and full of heritage. Originally, its grooves served a functional purpose: securing the bezel to the case to maintain the watch’s waterproof integrity. This design mirrored the fluting on the screw-down case back, both crafted with precision using specialized Rolex tools.

Over the years, the fluted bezel has evolved from a practical feature into a hallmark of elegance and style. On models like the Day-Date 40, the gold fluted bezel stands as a symbol of distinction, craftsmanship, and enduring luxury.

18 ct Yellow Gold

A Standard of Excellence

Through its own dedicated foundry, Rolex maintains complete control over the creation of its 18 ct gold alloys, ensuring exceptional quality and consistency. By carefully adjusting the proportions of silver, copper, platinum, or palladium, the brand produces distinct variations of 18 ct gold, including yellow, pink, and white tones.

Only the purest raw materials are selected, and each alloy undergoes thorough inspection in an advanced in-house laboratory equipped with modern technology. From casting to shaping, every step is executed with meticulous precision. Rolex’s dedication to excellence begins at the very foundation of its materials.

The President Bracelet
