ABOUT THIS WATCH
Day-Date 40 Ref. 228235
Introduced for the Day-Date’s 60th anniversary, the olive green dial has become one of the most recognizable configurations of the Day-Date 40. Paired with Everose gold, it gives the classic President a distinctly contemporary character.
CURATOR’S NOTE
The olive dial and Everose gold are particularly compelling in person, with both colors changing noticeably depending on the light.
