Platinum and black — the 228236 distills the Day-Date to its most authoritative form. Black dials on platinum cases produce a contrast that reads as restrained power rather than flash, which is precisely why this reference has become one of the most sought-after configurations in the modern 40mm Day-Date range. This replica Rolex Day-Date 228236 captures that character.

The 228236 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
At 40mm with a fluted bezel, the 228236 in platinum carries a visual gravity that lighter metals cannot replicate. The fluting catches and disperses light in a way that changes the watch face from every angle — a hallmark of the Day-Date design language in precious metal.
The black dial is a study in restraint. Platinum-tone stick indices and hands sit against a deep, light-absorbing surface. The day window at 12 o’clock and the Cyclops-magnified date at 3 provide the dual-calendar functionality that defines the Day-Date name.
The President bracelet flows seamlessly from the case with polished center links and brushed outer links, terminating in a concealed Crownclasp. Browse other platinum Day-Date references in our Day-Date collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two automatic caliber tiers are available for this Day-Date 228236:
- Swiss Automatic — 28,800 vph with approximately 48-hour power reserve. Higher-grade finishing and tighter tolerances for a closer match to the genuine Caliber 3255.
- Japanese Automatic (Miyota) — 21,600 vph with roughly 42-hour reserve. Battle-tested reliability with straightforward servicing anywhere in the world.
Quickset day-date adjustment and hacking seconds are standard on both movement options.
