Rolex Day-Date 40 Champagne Dial 18k Yellow Gold President Automatic Watch 228238
The Rolex Day-Date 228238 (often referenced as the 228238) is the quintessential “President’s Watch.” It represents the most traditional and iconic configuration of the Day-Date collection, featuring a monochrome aesthetic where the 18k yellow gold of the case and bracelet perfectly matches the champagne sunray dial. This model is characterized by its deconstructed Roman numeral markers, which are meticulously hand-set in yellow gold to create a high-relief, three-dimensional look that captures the light alongside the watch’s signature fluted bezel.
Constructed entirely from gold forged in Rolex’s in-house foundry, the 40mm case offers a powerful presence on the wrist. It is paired with the legendary President bracelet, which was designed specifically for the launch of the Day-Date in 1956 and is exclusively made of precious metals. The timepiece is powered by the Calibre 3255, a movement at the forefront of watchmaking technology with a 70-hour power reserve and the “Superlative Chronometer” certification, ensuring a precision of $-2/+2$ seconds per day.
