Ref. 228239 Deep Ice-Blue Sunburst Dial Replica
Day-Date 40 Style – Ref. 228239 Deep Ice-Blue Sunburst Dial (China Super Clone)
This configuration follows the proportions and layout of the Day-Date 40 ref. 228239, but instead of the iconic light ice-blue reserved for platinum, this version uses a deeper, steel-toned ice-blue sunburst dial. It keeps the color’s cold identity yet adds more saturation and presence, giving the watch a stronger, colder personality.

Unlike bright blue or navy, this color behaves like metal turned into light—cool, dense, and not immediately revealing its gradient until the angle changes.
Why This Deeper Ice-Blue Works
True ice-blue dials associated with platinum are usually delicate, almost pale. A darker version adds gravity. Instead of charming softness, it has a calm, serious presence. The transition from cold grey to saturated blue only appears when the light moves across the bezel.
It’s not a playful blue;
it’s a technical blue.
How It Differs From Dark Navy or Light Ice-Blue
| Feature | Deep Ice-Blue (this model) | Navy Blue | Light Platinum Ice-Blue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tone | Cold, metallic, saturated | Warm navy, classic | Bright, pale, silky |
| Mood | Modern and precise | Traditional and formal | Soft and luxurious |
| Contrast with Steel | High contrast, sharp | Moderate contrast | Low contrast, smoother |
| Character | Clean, serious, refined | Elegant, conventional | Gentle, premium |
Steel emphasizes edges;
deep ice-blue emphasizes the temperature of the watch.
Who Should Choose This 228239-Style Build?
-
Someone who prefers cold colors over warm luxury tones
-
Someone who values precision over decoration
-
Someone who likes blue, but not “fashion blue”
-
Someone who wants a Day-Date silhouette without gold or sweetness
-
A wearer who enjoys subtle intensity rather than immediate attention
If a navy dial is tradition,
deep ice-blue is modern discipline.
