The Rolex Day-Date 40 ref. 228238 is a study in discreet elegance rendered in 18K yellow gold. Its 40 mm Oyster case is harmoniously proportioned—bold without excess—topped by a polished bezel that frames the dial with restraint rather than flash. The President bracelet, crafted entirely in matching yellow gold, flows seamlessly from case to wrist, offering comfort, continuity, and a classic Rolex silhouette.

At the heart sits a crisp white dial marked with bold Roman numerals in yellow gold, rendering a timeless and legible layout. The day of the week is displayed in full across 12 o’clock, and the date appears at 3 o’clock under Rolex’s Cyclops lens—both features characteristic of the Day-Date line. The Roman numerals add a touch of classical refinement, reinforcing the watch’s balance of form and function.

Inside, the powertrain is Rolex’s Caliber 3255, delivering a robust ~70 hours of power reserve, precision via the Chronergy escapement, and resilience thanks to advanced materials like the Parachrom hairspring. With water resistance to 100 m and Rolex’s durable Oyster architecture, the 228238 is not just a luxurious statement—it’s a reliable, everyday timepiece. For collectors who favor purity of design and mechanical substance, this all-gold Day-Date remains a benchmark in Rolex’s modern lineup.
