Rolex Day-Date 40228238-0069

This 228235-0055 is the more common Day-Date size in my experience cataloguing them — 40mm instead of 36mm, rose gold, white dial, $47,500, still 100m rated on the same Oyster case as every Datejust and Submariner I've measured. The extra 4mm changes the wrist presence axis more than you'd expect: it reads as a proper daily watch rather than a dress-only piece. At roughly a fifth less than the diamond-dial 36mm version, it's the Day-Date I'd rate highest for value within the collection, even though value is an odd word to use at this price.
