Rolex 228238 Day-Date 40mm Champagne Diamond Dial 18k Yellow Gold Watch This stunning Rolex Day-Date 40 is in excellent pre-owned condition and ready to ship! Brand Rolex MPN 228238 Model Day-Date 40 Case Material 18k Yellow Gold Case Diameter 40 mm Crystal Sapphire Crystal Bezel Fluted 18k Yellow Gold Dial Champagne with Diamond hour markers Bracelet 18k Yellow Gold President Bracelet Size Will fit up to a 7" wrist Clasp Hidden Crown Clasp Movement Automatic — Caliber 3255, Superlative Chronometer Certified Year of Production 2021 Condition Pre-Owned · Mint Includes Original Rolex box, card, handtags, and original purchase receipt — all dated November 2, 2021 SKU W4932 The Rolex Day-Date has carried the designation of watchmaking's most prestigious daily wear since its debut in 1956 — the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week spelled out in full and the date simultaneously. Reference 228238 is the current 40mm generation, introduced in 2015 as the successor to the long-running 118238. It brought a slightly larger case footprint, a slimmer lug profile, and the landmark caliber 3255 movement. That movement delivers a 70-hour power reserve, a Chronergy escapement that improves efficiency by roughly 15 percent over its predecessor, and Rolex's Superlative Chronometer certification to plus or minus two seconds per day. Exclusive to 18k gold and platinum, the 228238 is never offered in steel, which keeps demand consistently ahead of supply at authorized dealers. This particular example wears a champagne dial set with factory diamond hour markers, a combination that reads exceptionally warm against the solid 18k yellow gold case and the three-link President bracelet. The fluted 18k yellow gold bezel, one of the most recognizable design signatures in the entire Rolex catalog, frames the dial with a precise hand-finished texture that catches light at every angle. Vision inspection confirms the case, bracelet, and crystal are in outstanding condition with no visible scratches or wear marks, consistent with a lightly worn piece. The protective sticker remains visible in photos. Full Mayors retail documentation accompanies the watch: the original Rolex box, card, handtags, and the authorized dealer purchase receipt, all dated November 2, 2021. A complete-set Day-Date 40 in yellow gold with a diamond dial and dated Mayors receipt is a genuinely uncommon offering in today's secondary market. For a collector building a serious yellow gold Rolex portfolio, or for someone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime gift, this reference at this condition level represents a sound acquisition. It arrives ready to wear from day one, with every document intact. Each piece is fully inspected and authenticated by Diamonds by Raymond Lee in Boca Raton.
