Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228348RBR Yellow Gold Onyx Diamond Dial & Diamond Bezel

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228348RBR represents one of the most striking and luxurious combinations in the modern President collection. Crafted from solid 18 kt yellow gold, the watch radiates warmth and prestige, paired with a rare and highly coveted factory onyx dial. This deep-black, naturally cut stone provides an ultra-smooth, glass-like surface that creates dramatic contrast against the gold accents.

Each hour marker is set with brilliant-cut diamonds, meticulously arranged in solid gold settings—an execution that only Rolex’s in-house gem specialists can achieve. The signature diamond-set bezel further elevates the presence of the piece, encircling the dark dial with a bright halo of high-clarity gemstones.

The Day-Date’s defining complication—a full day display at 12 o’clock paired with an instantaneous date at 3—remains a testament to its legacy as the world’s first watch to present both indications. Powering this model is Rolex’s advanced self-winding calibre, guaranteeing precision, durability, and seamless performance.

Completed with the prestigious President bracelet, the timepiece rests comfortably on the wrist with its iconic semi-circular three-link architecture, engineered for elegance and strength.

This configuration—Yellow Gold, Onyx Diamond Dial, and Diamond Bezel—is among the most collectible and visually impactful Day-Date executions available today, merging natural materials, precious stones, and classic Rolex design into a statement of pure prestige.
