Individual sale results behind our data, from eBay and auction houses. Each watch differs in condition and set.

Forum rows are posts on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums and WatchUSeek that the seller marked sold. The amount is the listed price when marked sold, not a confirmed sale price, and forum rows do not feed our price.

About the Day-Date 40 228236

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 is a reference in the Rolex Day-Date collection. From our catalog: a 40 mm case in 950 platinum; bezel: Fluted 950 platinum; dial: Multiple dial options; seen: ice blue dial with applied diamonds (Uhren2000 listing); movement: Rolex calibre 3255, automatic. The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.

What the sales say

Behind the headline sit 16 completed sales, 13 eBay sales and 3 auction results, gathered from March 2024 through October 2026. May 2026 saw the most activity, 5 sales in a single month. On the auction side, the results are from Grailzee and Sotheby's. Confidence is high: plenty of recent, consistent sales, and a backtest record to match. The newest sale is 47 days old. Too few sales landed in the past 90 days to rate how much prices swing. A fair price for the 228236 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. Because it changes hands rarely, a sale still counts for half after 180 days.

There is no twelve-month change yet: the earlier window has 1 sale and the latest 15, and each needs at least three. Its first recorded sale dates from April 2024, so a decade-scale view will have to wait. By channel, eBay sales come in about 18% below auction results for this reference (12 eBay sales against 3 auction results). Part of any gap is the buyer's premium inside auction prices.

Sellers without the original box and papers should expect roughly 20% less; that discount comes from 20 watch-only results in the same family. The listed sales split 15 full sets to 0 watch-only and 1 partial, with 5 unworn; the rest gave no set details. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. The lowest listed sale, on August 22, 2026 (on eBay, set not stated), came in about 13% below the worth-about figure; the highest, on March 31, 2026 (at Grailzee, unworn, full set), about 19% above the worth-about figure.

Nearest in price within the same collection: Day-Date 40 228348RBR price, Day-Date 40 228235 price and Day-Date 36 128235 price.
