Day-Date Yellow Gold White Dial 40mm

The Rolex Day-Date 40 (ref. 228238-0042) refines the iconic Presidential lineage with enhanced proportions and technical updates, introduced as the successor to the Day-Date II. Rendered here in luminous yellow gold with a stark white dial, it delivers sharp contrast and classic elegance in equal measure.

Housed in a 40mm case crafted from 18ct yellow gold, the watch features a fluted bezel and traditional three-link President bracelet with concealed Crownclasp. Its clean white dial is marked by applied gold hour markers and the signature day and date apertures at 12 and 3 o’clock, respectively. The calibre 3255 movement inside represents Rolex’s next-generation engineering, offering a 70-hour power reserve, Superlative chronometer certification, and resistance to magnetic fields and shocks. Water-resistant to 100 m, it retains robust wearability beneath the refined exterior.

As a core part of the modern Day-Date catalogue, ref. 228238-0042 balances legacy appeal with contemporary precision—reaffirming its place as a hallmark of Rolex’s enduring presence in prestige watchmaking.
