Rolex Day-Date 40 Baguette Diamond Dial 228238
Code: 600064Product detailed description
Rolex Day-Date 40 — Ref. 228238 Baguette Diamond Dial
The ultimate expression of Rolex craftsmanship. Crafted entirely from 18 ct yellow gold, the Day-Date 40 represents the height of Rolex’s classic watchmaking — precise, balanced, and unmistakably refined. First introduced in 1956 as the world’s first wristwatch to display both the date and the day spelled in full, it remains one of the most enduring symbols of success and discretion. The 228238 continues this legacy with modern proportions and a dial set with baguette-cut diamonds, giving the watch quiet brilliance rather than overt glamour.

Why choose this model?
A heritage of distinction.
Since its debut, the Day-Date has been worn by heads of state, visionaries, and leaders across generations. The 40 mm version refines the proportions while maintaining the same presence and significance as the original “President’s Watch.”
Unmistakable refinement.
The baguette-cut diamond hour markers provide structure and depth to the dial — a detail that elevates the piece without excess. Combined with the fluted bezel and polished yellow gold case, it projects measured confidence.
Technical mastery.
Powered by the Calibre 3255, a next-generation movement developed entirely by Rolex, offering a 70-hour power reserve, superior precision, and magnetic resistance — the standard of contemporary horology.
A modern investment.
Day-Date references in full yellow gold with diamond-set dials have proven enduring in both desirability and long-term value. The 228238, in particular, remains a key reference for collectors seeking a definitive example of Rolex’s high-craft execution.
Timeless presence.
From private meetings to formal occasions, the Day-Date 40 with diamond dial embodies quiet prestige — a watch that speaks through its craftsmanship rather than its shine.
