The Rolex Day-Date 228238 in yellow gold is a commanding expression of opulence and precision. Its 40mm case and fluted bezel are crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, delivering unmistakable wrist presence. The pavé diamond dial takes center stage, shimmering with a full-set of diamonds that blanket the surface.

Each hour is marked by a brilliant-cut diamond set in yellow gold settings, further amplifying the watch’s luxurious allure. The iconic day display at 12 o'clock and date window at 3 o'clock—magnified by the Cyclops lens—retain the model’s signature functionality. Paired with the President bracelet, this Day-Date 40 embodies Rolex’s mastery in combining jewelry artistry with timeless design.

The Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228238 in solid yellow gold makes an unapologetically bold statement with its full pavé diamond dial. This iteration of the iconic "President's Watch" takes luxury to another level, featuring a lavishly set dial encrusted with brilliant-cut diamonds and framed by luminous baguette-cut diamond hour markers, combining both extravagance and legibility in Rolex’s unmistakable fashion.

The 40mm case and fluted bezel are forged from 18k yellow gold, continuing Rolex’s long-standing tradition of using only precious metals for the Day-Date. Its signature day display at 12 o’clock and date window at 3 o’clock remain central to the watch’s utility, elevated here by the brilliance of the gem-setting. The diamond-set dial brings light and movement to the wrist, radiating status and craftsmanship without the need for further embellishment.

Fitted with the iconic President bracelet—also in yellow gold, with semi-circular links for unparalleled comfort—the 228238 balances opulence with heritage. Behind the dial, Rolex’s self-winding calibre 3255 delivers exceptional precision and a 70-hour power reserve, reinforcing the Day-Date’s reputation as both a high-jewelry and high-performance timepiece.

This reference is a collector’s favorite for those seeking the ultimate combination of horology and gem-setting mastery. Whether as a daily statement or part of a curated collection, it exemplifies the prestige and attention to detail that defines Rolex’s most coveted model line.
