SUMMARY

The Day-Date is one of The Crown’s most iconic references as it was the world’s first wrist watch to display the date as well as the day spelt in full. This particular watch - reference 228235 - is a luxuriously configured timepiece thanks to its 18K rose gold finish and ‘sundust’ dial with baguette diamond hour markers. Beneath the screw-down rear casing beats Rolex’s in-house developed 3255 calibre; an automatic movement with a power reserve of 70 hours.
