Rolex DayDate 228238 Silver dial 2020

The Rolex Day-Date 40 ref. 228238 is the ultimate expression of prestige within the Rolex collection. Exclusively crafted in precious metals, the Day-Date has long been known as the “President’s watch,” symbolizing success, refinement, and timeless elegance.

This configuration in 18k yellow gold is paired with a sophisticated silver dial featuring applied Roman numerals, creating a classic and distinguished aesthetic. The iconic fluted bezel and the unmistakable President bracelet further enhance its luxurious character, making it one of the most recognizable dress watches in the world.

Powered by the advanced Rolex Calibre 3255, the Day-Date 40 delivers exceptional precision, reliability, and an extended 70-hour power reserve. It also features the signature day display at 12 o’clock and date window at 3 o’clock, both instantly legible and synonymous with the model’s identity.

This example dates from 2020 and remains never polished, preserving its original factory lines and sharp edges—an important detail for collectors. The watch is offered as a complete full set, including the original Rolex box, warranty card, and all accompanying accessories.
