Rolex Day-Date 40 228345RBR Rose Gold Slate Ombre Roman Numerals Dial Diamond Bezel

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228345RBR in rose gold with a slate ombré Roman numerals dial and a brilliant-cut diamond bezel is a bold, modern expression of Rolex’s most prestigious line. Crafted entirely in 18k rose gold, the 40mm case delivers confident proportions with polished surfaces that accentuate the warmth of the metal. Replacing the traditional fluted bezel, this reference features a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a continuous ring of light that elevates the Day-Date into unmistakable high-jewelry territory while preserving its authoritative silhouette.

The slate ombré dial is the defining element, transitioning from a lighter center to a darker outer edge, adding depth and visual drama without excess. Applied Roman numerals reinforce the watch’s classical roots, standing out crisply against the gradient background. The day aperture at 12 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock remain integral to the Day-Date identity, anchoring the design in its historic role as Rolex’s flagship complication. Rose-gold hands and text harmonize with the case, keeping the dial balanced and legible despite its expressive finish.

Completing the watch is the iconic President bracelet in rose gold, whose semi-circular links provide both comfort and unmistakable presence on the wrist. Powered by an automatic movement engineered for long-term precision and reliability, the 228345RBR pairs mechanical substance with elevated aesthetics. For collectors, this reference stands out as one of the most expressive Day-Date 40 configurations—combining a rare ombré dial, Roman numerals, and a brilliant-cut diamond bezel into a piece that is refined, authoritative, and unmistakably Rolex.
