About this watch

A 40mm Rolex Day-Date 228238 from 2023, in solid 18ct yellow gold, with a silver dial with baton hour markers and the fluted gold bezel. It comes with its box and papers.

The Day-Date, often called the President, is made only in precious metal and spells out the day of the week in full at 12 o’clock; the 228238 is the current 40mm version, with the self-winding calibre 3255 and around 70 hours of power reserve. Silver with simple batons is the understated way to wear a gold Day-Date: classic, crisp and quietly confident.

Our watchmakers have checked, timed and pressure tested it in our Birmingham atelier. It grades perfect on the dial and excellent on the case, bracelet, clasp and movement, with little to no signs of wear. It is currently sized for a wrist of about 17cm, and we can source extra links at additional cost if you need more length.
