One of the most prestigious timepieces has received a modern update. The 2022 version of the Rolex Day-Date 40 Watch is synonymous with excellence.

The Day-Date was the first watch to indicate the day of the week spelt out in full when it was first presented in 1956. The Rolex Day-Date 40 Watch features an ice-blue dial is the discreet and exclusive signature of a Rolex platinum watch. Rolex uses platinum, the noblest of metals, for the finest of watches.

The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, in platinum on this Day-Date 40.
