The Rolex Day-Date 40 228235-0032 white Roman pairs a white lacquer dial and applied Roman numerals with a 40mm 18 ct Everose gold case. White is the highest-contrast dial Rolex offers on this reference, and on pink gold it does something no coloured dial does: it pushes the metal forward instead of absorbing it, so the fluted bezel and the President links read as the dominant element. The numerals are applied in pink gold, with baton indexes at the hours between them. Paired with the Everose bracelet, the look leans toward formality rather than toward the experimentation of the stone and patterned dials.

The 228235 uses the same 40mm case architecture as the rest of the modern Day-Date range, and the white dial gives it a neutral base that works across settings. The page lists two builds: the $349 A-grade with a Japanese automatic calendar movement, and the $849 super clone with the clone Cal. 3255.

Rolex Day-Date 40 228235-0032 white Roman: three metals, one dial

White Roman dials exist at 40mm in three metals, and the reference number is the only reliable way to tell the photographs apart: 228235-0032 is Everose, 228238-0042 is yellow gold, and 228239-0046 is white gold. On this card the pink-gold numerals sit on white lacquer, so the markers themselves carry a warm tint that the yellow gold version pushes further and the white gold version removes entirely. Matching the suffix, not the dial colour, is what keeps the three of them apart on a listing page.

Inside the clone Cal. 3255

The clone Cal. 3255 provides a 70-hour power reserve and the instantaneous day-date change at midnight, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Mechanically the 228235-0032 shares the calendar layout of other Day-Date 40 references such as the 228206 and 228238, which leaves external design to do the separating. The gold wrap and plating section of our Day-Date guide explains what the Everose finish on a clone actually is. For a darker dial in a smaller case, see the 128238 chocolate dial; the full Day-Date range holds the rest.

Rolex Day-Date 40 228235-0032 white Roman Replica FAQ

Does the 228235-0032 white dial have Roman numerals all round?

No. The Roman numerals alternate with applied baton indexes, and the day aperture at 12 and the date window at 3 take two further positions. That mixed layout on a white lacquer ground is what the -0032 suffix names.

How much is the 228235-0032 Everose white Roman super clone?

$849 for the super clone with the clone Cal. 3255, and $349 for the A-grade with a Japanese automatic movement. The case, dial, bezel and President bracelet are the same on both; the movement and its finishing account for the difference.
