The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228238 is a distinguished expression of Rolex’s signature luxury and timeless design. Crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and measuring 40mm in diameter, this Day-Date features the iconic Super-Case profile, a screw-down crown with Twinlock double waterproofness system, and a solid case back. With 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance, the watch combines refined aesthetics with everyday durability. Its unmistakable President bracelet further reinforces the prestigious character of this celebrated Rolex model.

The watch features a striking black dial complemented by polished yellow gold hands and 10 baguette-cut diamond hour markers. A finely printed minute and seconds track provides a clean, precise appearance, while the day-of-the-week display is positioned at 12 o’clock and the date window appears at 3 o’clock beneath Rolex’s signature Cyclops magnifying lens. Surrounding the dial is a fixed 18K yellow gold fluted bezel, whose distinctive wave-like pattern adds depth and instantly recognizable Rolex character. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal provides additional protection and clarity.

Completing the design is the iconic Rolex President bracelet, crafted from solid 18K yellow gold with three-piece semi-circular links and a combination of polished and satin-finished surfaces. Designed specifically for the Day-Date, the bracelet offers a sophisticated balance of comfort and elegance. It is secured by Rolex’s concealed folding Crownclasp, which maintains the bracelet’s seamless appearance while providing a secure closure.

Powering the Day-Date 40 is Rolex’s in-house Calibre 3255 automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and featuring 31 jewels. The movement provides approximately 70 hours of power reserve and drives central hour, minute, and seconds hands along with the instantaneous day and date displays. The day and date change simultaneously at midnight, while unrestricted rapid-setting and stop-seconds functionality allow for convenient adjustment and precise time setting. The solid case back and screw-down crown contribute to the watch’s robust construction and 100-meter water resistance.

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228238 brings together precious-metal craftsmanship, a distinctive diamond-set black dial, the iconic fluted bezel, and the renowned President bracelet in one sophisticated timepiece. With its impressive Calibre 3255 movement and approximately 70-hour power reserve, it offers both mechanical excellence and enduring elegance. It is a quintessential luxury watch that embodies the prestige, craftsmanship, and unmistakable design language associated with the Rolex Day-Date collection.
