Rolex Day-Date 40 | 228235 60th Anniversary | Olive Green Sunburst Dial | 18ct Rose Gold

Why we love this watch

Few timepieces command a room quite like the Rolex Day-Date 40, and this 228235 60th Anniversary edition - presented at SASO in Brisbane - stands as one of the most compelling expressions of the collection. Crafted entirely in 18ct rose gold, from its 40mm round case to its President-style bracelet, the watch is a study in warm, luminous opulence that rewards every glance. At the heart of the dial lies an olive green sunburst finish - a colour that shifts and deepens depending on the light, moving between forest richness and golden warmth as it catches the sun. Roman hour markers are applied with the precision and authority that define Rolex at its finest, lending the dial a classical gravitas that feels both timeless and utterly contemporary. The fluted bezel, rendered in 18ct rose gold, frames the dial with architectural elegance - its crisp ridges catching the light with each movement of the wrist. It is a signature detail of the Day-Date lineage, and here it is executed with the refinement one expects from the world's most celebrated watchmaker. Beyond its extraordinary aesthetics, this reference is built around a movement delivering an impressive 70-hour power reserve, ensuring the watch continues to perform long after it has left your wrist. The complications include a full day-date display - the hallmark of the Day-Date - alongside a date window positioned at 3 o'clock, making at-a-glance timekeeping as effortless as it is distinguished. Free of any visible case, dial, or bracelet wear, this piece presents in exceptional condition. Available now exclusively through SASO, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Rolex's most celebrated references - a watch that has adorned the wrists of presidents, visionaries, and icons for generations.
