The Rolex Day-Date 40 228398TBR pairs Rolex’s flagship dress-watch silhouette with an elevated high-jewelry expression, combining a 40 mm yellow gold case with a champagne diamond-baguette dial and a matching diamond-baguette bezel — giving it rare visual presence while preserving the Day-Date’s timeless form. The rich champagne backdrop enhances the sparkle of the carefully arranged diamonds, creating a warm, refined contrast against the yellow gold that feels both luxurious and wearable.

The baguette diamonds on the dial serve as hour markers and reinforce a structured, architectural look without overwhelming clarity, while the bezel’s matching stones maintain a cohesive, high-jewelry expression. Fitted to the classic President bracelet in solid yellow gold, the reference delivers a seamless aesthetic from case to wrist. With its blend of premium materials, balanced proportions, and premium gem-set design, the 228398TBR appeals to collectors seeking a modern Day-Date that feels unmistakably distinctive yet rooted in Rolex’s emblematic luxury-dress identity.

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228398TBR in yellow gold with a champagne diamond baguette dial and diamond baguette bezel is a powerful expression of Rolex’s most prestigious model elevated through high-jewelry execution. Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, the 40mm case carries the unmistakable Day-Date presence—confident proportions, polished surfaces, and an imposing stance on the wrist. In place of the traditional fluted bezel, this reference features a bezel set with precisely matched baguette-cut diamonds, creating a sharp, architectural frame that immediately signals rarity and refinement.

The champagne dial introduces warmth and depth, serving as an elegant backdrop for the baguette-cut diamond hour markers. These stones are perfectly aligned, adding structure and brilliance without overwhelming the dial’s balance. The day display at 12 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock remain core to the Day-Date identity, anchoring the watch in its historic role as Rolex’s flagship complication. Yellow-gold hands and text maintain strong contrast and legibility while harmonizing with the dial’s golden tones.

Completing the watch is the iconic President bracelet in yellow gold, whose semi-circular links offer both comfort and unmistakable presence. Powered by an automatic movement built for precision and long-term reliability, the 228398TBR delivers substance beneath its opulent exterior. For collectors, this reference represents the Day-Date at its most elevated—combining precious metal, meticulous baguette diamond setting, and timeless Rolex design into a statement piece that balances authority, elegance, and unmistakable luxury.
