DAY-DATE 40 228238-0004 BLACK BAGUETTE DIAL

Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228238-0004 (2026) – New & Unworn

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228238-0004 is a striking expression of modern luxury, combining the timeless prestige of the Day-Date collection with the bold elegance of a black dial adorned with baguette-cut diamond hour markers. Crafted entirely from 18 ct yellow gold, this exceptional timepiece offers a powerful presence on the wrist while maintaining the refinement that has made the Day-Date one of the most respected watches in the world.

Its 40 mm Oyster case is manufactured from Rolex’s proprietary 18 ct yellow gold and is complemented by the iconic fluted bezel, a defining feature of the Day-Date since its introduction in 1956. The deep black dial creates a dramatic contrast against the warm tones of the gold case and bracelet, while ten baguette-cut diamond indexes elevate the watch with a discreet yet unmistakable touch of exclusivity and sophistication.

At its heart beats the Rolex Calibre 3255, a next-generation self-winding manufacture movement developed and produced entirely by Rolex. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer, it delivers exceptional precision, reliability, and resistance to shocks and magnetic fields while providing an impressive power reserve of approximately 70 hours.

The watch is completed by the legendary President bracelet, crafted in solid 18 ct yellow gold and reserved exclusively for the Day-Date collection. Its semi-circular three-piece links offer exceptional comfort and elegance, while the concealed Crownclasp ensures a seamless and luxurious appearance.

Combining precious-metal craftsmanship, advanced horological engineering, and one of the most desirable dial configurations available in the Day-Date collection, the 228238-0004 represents the ultimate expression of Rolex prestige and timeless style.
