Rolex Day-Date 40 228349RBR White Gold Black Diamond Baguette Dial Diamond Bezel

The Rolex Day-Date 40 in white gold with diamond bezel and baguette diamond dial represents the reference at its most explicitly jewelry-oriented — a configuration that positions the watch within a tradition of diamond-set Day-Dates extending back to the reference's 1956 introduction, when Rolex first established the precedent of offering its presidential watch with factory gem-setting of exceptional quality. The combination of a round brilliant-cut diamond bezel with baguette-cut diamond hour markers on a black dial is among the most visually commanding configurations in the current Day-Date range: the geometric precision of the baguettes against the deep black ground, surrounded by the scintillating brilliance of the round bezel diamonds, creates a layered gem-setting narrative that distinguishes this reference from any single-cut approach. The white gold and black dial pairing produces a cooler, more contemporary register than the yellow gold equivalent. The 40mm white gold Oyster case carries a bezel set with a continuous row of round brilliant-cut diamonds and a white gold screw-down crown. The black dial presents ten baguette-cut diamond hour markers alongside two larger baguette-cut markers at six and twelve o'clock, with a spelled-out day aperture at twelve and a date window at three o'clock beneath a Cyclops lens. White gold pointed hands complete the dial. The President bracelet in white gold with concealed Crownclasp completes the reference. Caliber 3255 powers the movement. *This timepiece comes with thefactory sticker on a case back
