Rolex DayDate Yellow Gold Green Dial Ref: 228238 Brand New

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Yellow Gold Green Dial Ref. 228238 is one of the most recognisable modern expressions of Rolex’s flagship dress watch, famed for its prestige and exclusivity since the model’s debut in 1956. Known as the “President” watch—a nickname stemming from its iconic semi-circular three-link President bracelet and its adoption by world leaders—the Day-Date was the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week spelled out in full and the date in separate windows, a signature complication that remains its hallmark. The Ref. 228238, introduced as part of the 2015 Day-Date 40 line, features an 18 ct yellow gold case and bracelet, paired here with a rich green dial—a colour deeply associated with Rolex’s heritage. It is powered by the in-house Calibre 3255, a next-generation movement boasting a Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring, 70-hour power reserve, and Superlative Chronometer certification, ensuring exceptional precision and durability. The green dial variant has become especially coveted among collectors for its vibrant yet regal aesthetic, often seen as a symbol of both luxury and status. Within Rolex’s lineup, the Day-Date 40 represents the pinnacle of the brand’s dress watch offerings, combining technical refinement with timeless prestige, and the 228238 stands as a modern classic that bridges Rolex’s historical roots with contemporary elegance.
