Born in 1956, the Day-Date set a new standard for what a wristwatch could be. Crafted exclusively in 18ct Everose Gold, the Day-Date 40 Ref. 228235-0002 remains the only timepiece to display both the date and the full day of the week — a distinction it has held for nearly seven decades. Paired with the iconic President bracelet and finished with a rich Chocolate dial in Roman numerals, this is not simply a watch. It is the enduring symbol of power, achievement, and timeless elegance — worn by the world’s most influential figures, and built for those who define their own legacy.

The self-winding Day-Date 40 is presented here in 18ct Everose Gold, featuring a 40mm Oyster case with monobloc middle case, screw-down case back, and Twinlock double waterproofness winding crown. At the heart of its appeal is the rich Chocolate dial adorned with elegant Roman numeral hour markers, shielded by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens over the date.
Powering this exceptional timepiece is the Calibre 3255, Manufacture — delivering centre hour, minute and seconds hands, instantaneous day and date display in apertures, secure rapid-setting, and stop-seconds for precise time setting. With an impressive power reserve of approximately 70 hours and water resistance to 100 metres / 330 feet, the Day-Date 40 Ref. 228235-0002 is further distinguished by the iconic President bracelet in 18ct Everose Gold, with its signature semi-circular three-piece links and concealed folding Crownclasp — a combination that has defined prestige watchmaking for generations.

The watch is unworn and comes complete with full set of original accessories, such as watch box, warranty card dated recently, booklets and manuals.
