==Case, bezel, crystal, and crown==

The case is 41mm in 18k white gold, with a sapphire crystal, a Cyclops over the date and a Twinlock screw-down crown, rated to 100m. Published thickness figures for the Day-Date II run between about 11.9mm and 13mm depending on whether the measurement is taken at the midcase or over the caseback. The bezel is fluted, ~~the same format~~ the yellow-gold and Everose references ~~wear, and on~~ white gold the ~~fluting is the main thing that tells the watch apart~~ from ~~a large~~ Datejust ~~at a glance~~.

The case is 41mm in 18k white gold, with a sapphire crystal, a Cyclops over the date and a Twinlock screw-down crown, rated to 100m. Published thickness figures for the Day-Date II run between about 11.9mm and 13mm depending on whether the measurement is taken at the midcase or over the caseback. The bezel is fluted, as on the yellow-gold and Everose references. On white gold, the metal, bezel, dial, and movement should be checked together when distinguishing it from related Datejust models.

The 41 mm case distinguishes the Day-Date II from the 36 mm generation. The 2015 successor moved to the 40 mm Day-Date 40 case. Case dimensions and wrist fit should be taken from the individual watch rather than from collector preference.

The reviewed auction evidence is stronger for the platinum [[Reference:218206|218206]] than for the 218239. No 218239 lot was confirmed in the records checked here; that is a research limit, not proof that no such lot exists.

Asking prices vary with dial, condition, accessories, and service history. The reviewed material does not establish a reference-wide price band or a reliable ~~ranking against~~ the Everose [[Reference:218235|218235]] and yellow-gold [[Reference:218238|218238]] siblings.
