Rolex Day-Date 40 Everose Gold Olive Green Dial 228235

The Rolex DayDate 228235 OGRP in 18ct Everose Gold with an Olive Green dial represents one of the most iconic and luxurious expressions of Rolex craftsmanship. Introduced as part of the Oyster Perpetual DayDate 40 collection, this timepiece embodies elegance, innovation, and timeless prestige.

Distinctive Olive Green Dial

The striking Olive Green dial is one of the most recognizable and soughtafter faces in modern Rolex design. Exclusive to this reference, it is finished with a sunray effect that changes tones beautifully under different lighting conditions — shifting between deep forest hues and a subtle metallic sheen. The dial features applied bevelled Roman numerals, meticulously crafted in 18ct gold to prevent tarnishing, offering a harmonious contrast with the Everose case. The day display at 12 o’clock and the Cyclops date window at 3 o’clock add both character and practicality.

18ct Everose Gold Case and President Bracelet

Crafted from Rolex’s proprietary 18ct Everose Gold, developed and patented in Rolex’s own foundry, the Rolex Day-Date 40 Everose Gold Olive Green Dial 228235 radiates warmth and sophistication through its perfectly balanced 40 mm Oyster case. The material maintains its lustrous rose tone indefinitely, resisting fading over time, while the fluted bezel reflects light with exceptional brilliance, framing the dial with refined power and distinction.

Complementing this exquisite case is the legendary President bracelet, introduced in 1956 exclusively for the Day-Date line. It combines semi-circular three-piece links for superior comfort and elegance. Each link is meticulously polished to mirror perfection, and the concealed Crownclasp ensures seamless visual harmony—an unmistakable signature of Rolex craftsmanship.

Superlative Movement – Calibre 3255

At the heart of the DayDate 228235 beats the Rolex Calibre 3255, a selfwinding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured inhouse. This movement represents Rolex’s new generation of precision watchmaking, offering 70 hours of power reserve and unparalleled resistance to shocks and magnetic fields.

Certified as a Superlative Chronometer, the 3255 calibre guarantees an impressive accuracy of −2/+2 seconds per day—twice as exacting as the standards of the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). Its Chronergy escapement, made of nickelphosphorus, ensures enhanced energy efficiency and reliability, while the Parachrom hairspring offers exceptional stability across temperature variations.

Water Resistance and Durability

The Oyster case ensures water resistance up to 100 meters (330 feet), thanks to a Twinlock double waterproofness system. The sapphire crystal is virtually scratchproof, and the overall construction emphasizes robustness while preserving elegance — a hallmark of Rolex engineering.

A Timeless Emblem of Excellence

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Everose Gold Olive Green Dial 228235 is not just a watch — it’s a statement of legacy, achievement, and refined taste. Often referred to as the “President’s Watch,” it continues to adorn the wrists of world leaders, visionaries, and connoisseurs who demand the very best.

This exceptional model perfectly embodies the harmony between traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation — a true masterpiece of horology designed for those who appreciate the art of perfection.
