When luxurious creations blend with the ease of use, the results are astounding. And this notion is best manifested in Rolex Day-Date, where a luxe, elegant design is paired with a unique calendar functionality to make time and date reading a breeze. The collection was released in 1956, and this particular reference 228345RBR is absolutely mesmerising.

With a lustrous Everose gold case sized at 40mm, we feel the watch has an understated design that is well-suited for anyone looking for a statement timepiece that is not overpowering. Imbued with a contemporary charm, this 228345RBR at its core has a classic Rolex sensibility to it facilitated by a put-together Eisenkiesel dial. Eisenkiesel, an iron-oxide quartz with delicate veining, graces the dial of this Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40. This exquisite dial, featuring 10 baguette-cut diamonds, showcases a deep brown decorative stone that the brand introduced for the first time in 2021. The day aperture at 12 o'clock adds both unique style and functionality, while conventional decorations such as the date window at three o'clock set an elegant tone, which is further elevated by a diamond-set bezel and a signed crown. A signature President bracelet completes the overall design.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
