Rolex Day-Date 40 with Olive Green Dial (Reference 228235)

This is a luxury wristwatch appearing to be a Rolex Day-Date 40, often referred to as the 'President' watch. The piece is constructed from 18k Everose gold (Rolex's proprietary rose gold alloy), featuring a distinctive sunray-finish olive green dial. The case measures 40mm in diameter and is equipped with a fluted bezel and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a Cyclops magnification lens over the date aperture at 3 o'clock. A characteristic arc-shaped window at 12 o'clock displays the day of the week, currently showing 'THURSDAY'. The dial features faceted Roman numeral hour markers in 18k gold. It is fitted with the iconic President bracelet, characterized by semi-circular three-piece links. Notable markings include the Rolex crown logo at 12 o'clock, followed by the text 'ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DAY-DATE'. The lower dial contains the 'SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED' script. The watch shows signs of light daily wear, with minor surface scratches visible on the polished center links of the bracelet and the fluted edges of the bezel. This specific configuration was introduced around 2016 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Day-Date collection, signifying a modern contemporary style. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-tier horology, though a physical inspection of the movement (Calibre 3255) and serial number would be required to verify absolute authenticity.
