Rolex, Day-Date 40, 228235, Slate Ombre Roman Dial, Oscars, Rose Gold, Presidential Bracelet, 40mm

The watch is crafted in a 40mm Oyster case made from 18ct rose gold, giving the overall configuration a warmer metallic tone that contrasts against the darker gradient dial.

Its Oyster construction combines a screw-down caseback with a Twinlock winding crown, maintaining water resistance up to 100 meters while preserving the case's compact proportions.

The fluted bezel frames the dial with sharply machined ridges that create controlled reflections around the outer edge of the watch.

At the center is a slate ombré dial, where the tone gradually darkens toward the perimeter through the progressive application of black lacquer over the base surface.

Roman numerals structure the layout, giving it a more formal, architectural appearance, contrasting with the softer tonal transitions created by the ombré effect.

The nickname ‘Oscars’ comes from the watch’s resemblance to the color palette often associated with formal black-tie styling, where the darker dial and warm rose gold case create a more evening-oriented appearance compared to brighter Day-Date configurations.

The day aperture stretches across 12 o’clock, while the date display at 3 o’clock is magnified through the Cyclops lens, ensuring both complications remain clear against the darker edge of the dial.

Its President bracelet is crafted in matching rose gold, featuring semi-circular three-piece links engineered to contour naturally around the wrist and distribute the watch's weight evenly.

A concealed Crownclasp integrates directly into the bracelet, maintaining a continuous metallic surface when secured.

Inside, the watch is powered by the Rolex caliber 3255 automatic movement, delivering approximately 70 hours of power reserve and regulated to Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer standard.

The gradual fade of the dial changes the watch’s character depending on the lighting, with the outer edge appearing almost black in low light while the center retains a softer slate tone, giving the surface a more cinematic sense of depth.
