Rolex Day-Date 40 White Gold — Fluted Bezel Meteorite Baguette Diamond Dial | Ref. 228239

The Day-Date 40 reference 228239 pairs the largest current President's Watch case with one of the rarest dial materials available in watchmaking: genuine meteorite. Each meteorite dial is cut from iron-nickel meteorite that fell to Earth millions of years ago, its distinctive Widmanstätten crystalline structure — interlocking angular bands — having formed over billions of years of slow cooling in the interstellar vacuum. No two meteorite dials are identical; each carries a pattern that is, in the most literal sense, cosmically irreproducible. Baguette diamond hour markers amplify the otherworldly character of the surface without competing with its inherent drama. The fluted white gold bezel and President bracelet complete this as one of the most intellectually and visually compelling dial choices in the entire Rolex range.
