About this watch

Champagne baguette diamonds create a luminous constellation across the 40mm yellow gold case of this Day-Date, transforming the reference 228398TBR into one of Rolex's most visually striking configurations. The rectangular-cut diamonds are meticulously arranged in horizontal rows, catching and reflecting light with each subtle movement of the wrist. This particular dial treatment elevates the traditional champagne base beyond conventional applied indices, creating depth and brilliance that few complications can match. The President bracelet's three-piece links complement the yellow gold case construction, maintaining the monochromatic precious metal aesthetic that has defined presidential luxury since 1956.

Key Features & Specifications

  • Caliber 3255 Movement — Houses Rolex's Superlative Chronometer certified automatic movement with 70-hour power reserve and the instantaneous day-date mechanism
  • Sapphire Crystal Protection — Anti-reflective sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens magnification over the date window ensures optimal legibility and scratch resistance
  • Waterproof Oyster Architecture — Maintains 100-meter water resistance despite the complex day-date apertures through Rolex's screw-down case construction
