About this watch

The 40mm yellow gold case of the Rolex 228238 delivers commanding wrist presence through its substantial heft and warm metallic luster, while the champagne Roman numeral dial creates an understated elegance that catches light with subtle sophistication. This Day-Date configuration represents the pinnacle of Rolex's dress watch heritage, where the fluted bezel's machine-turned ridges catch and scatter light across the polished yellow gold surface. The President bracelet's semi-circular three-piece links flow seamlessly from case to clasp, creating the fluid drape that has defined executive wristwear since 1956. Every surface on this 228238 remains pristine in unworn condition, preserving the factory-fresh finishing that will develop character through years of wear.
