Heritage Narrative
Since its debut in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date has been synonymous with prestige, worn by world leaders, visionaries, and icons of culture. The modern Day-Date 40, introduced in 2015, continues that tradition of refinement while incorporating Rolex’s most advanced engineering — a perfect fusion of heritage and innovation.
This 2022 example, reference 228238, embodies classic luxury with its solid 18k yellow gold case and President bracelet, paired with a striking silver dial featuring Rolex’s diagonal motif pattern. The geometric texture adds a subtle layer of modernity to the timeless design, while the fluted bezel and polished surfaces reflect light with characteristic brilliance. Inside beats the Calibre 3255, a next-generation movement offering improved accuracy, durability, and a 70-hour power reserve. Offered in mint condition with its full set and covered by an international Rolex warranty until April 2027, this Day-Date 40 captures the essence of Rolex excellence — contemporary precision with timeless presence.
