Rolex Day-Date 40 228348RBR Yellow Gold Champagne Diamond Baguette Dial Diamond Bezel (2021)

The Rolex Day-Date has held its position as Rolex's flagship statement piece since 1956, the first wristwatch to spell the day of the week in full and produced exclusively in precious metals throughout its history. Worn by numerous world leaders, it earned its enduring "President's Watch" sobriquet and remains the most esteemed model in the Oyster collection. Reference 228348RBR represents the gem-set expression of the modern 40mm generation in 18-karat yellow gold, the "RBR" suffix denoting its factory diamond-set bezel. Configured here with a champagne dial bearing baguette-cut diamond markers, it appeals to collectors drawn to the convergence of presidential heritage with overt factory gem-setting.

The 40mm case in 18-karat yellow gold carries a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds and frames a champagne dial appointed with ten baguette-cut diamond hour markers in yellow gold settings, day aperture at twelve, and date at three beneath the Cyclops magnifier. The in-house automatic Caliber 3255 — equipped with the Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers — delivers a 70-hour power reserve and Superlative Chronometer certification. The watch is completed by a solid yellow gold President bracelet with semi-circular three-piece links and concealed folding Crownclasp.
