950 Platinum and Exclusive Diamond Craftsmanship
Unlike White Gold, the 950 Platinum alloy provides a unique, dense weight and a distinct, cool luminosity that immediately signals its exclusivity. The defining feature of the 228396 is the meticulously set bezel, where precision-cut baguette diamonds are individually set into the metal, reflecting Rolex's highest level of high-jewelry craftsmanship. The 40mm case integrates flawlessly with the solid Platinum President bracelet, creating an unparalleled aesthetic that is both discreet in color and commanding in presence.
The Signature Ice Blue Dial and Calibre 3255 Engine
The Ice Blue Dial is a hallmark of Rolex's platinum models, reserved exclusively for this metal and instantly identifying its elite status. The dial provides a stunning, ethereal backdrop for the baguette diamond markers and the magnified day and date apertures. This reference is powered by the latest-generation Rolex Calibre 3255 movement. This self-winding mechanical movement incorporates the Chronergy escapement, offering a substantial 70-hour power reserve and achieving Superlative Chronometer certification for unmatched precision and reliability.
