The Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 in 18 kt white gold epitomizes Rolex's commitment to luxury and precision. Its white dial, achieved through a meticulous lacquering technique, combines limitless freedom of color with an intense, smooth finish. This involves depositing six thin layers of lacquer on a brass base plate, followed by a colorless varnish to enhance depth and shine. The dial is then polished to magnify the color before being pad printed and receiving its appliques.
The signature fluted bezel, a mark of distinction, not only adds to the watch’s elegance but also contributes to its water resistance. Crafted from solid 18 kt white gold, the case and President bracelet offer durability and refinement. Designed in 1956 for the debut of the Day-Date, the President bracelet remains a symbol of prestige and exceptional comfort.
Powered by the cutting-edge Calibre 3255, the Day-Date 40 is COSC-certified and delivers exceptional accuracy with a 70-hour power reserve. This timepiece perfectly fuses classic aesthetics with Rolex’s technical innovation, making it a timeless luxury watch for connoisseurs.
