Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228348RBR Yellow Gold Pave Diamond Dial with Ruby Hour Markers & Diamond Bezel

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228348RBR is one of the most extravagant expressions of Rolex gem-setting mastery. Crafted entirely from 18 kt yellow gold, this reference showcases the Day-Date collection at its most luxurious and artistically detailed.

The dial is a breathtaking full pave diamond surface, composed of hundreds of meticulously selected and hand-set brilliant-cut stones. Each diamond is graded, matched, and set by Rolex’s in-house gemologists and master setters, ensuring exceptional clarity, fire, and uniformity throughout the dial.

Accentuating the shimmering diamond field are factory ruby baguette hour markers—a rare and highly coveted configuration reserved for only the most exclusive Day-Date references. The contrasting red gemstones add depth, color, and richness, transforming the dial into a true jewelry masterpiece.

Surrounding the dial is the iconic factory diamond bezel (RBR), forming a continuous ring of brilliance around the case. The result is a watch that radiates luxury from every angle without compromising Rolex’s reputation for precision and durability.

Powered by Rolex’s modern calibre, the Day-Date 40 offers exceptional reliability, chronometric performance, and long-term stability. The piece is finished with the signature President bracelet, known for its semi-circular links, seamless integration, and unmistakable prestige.

A rare configuration combining yellow gold, diamonds, and rubies, this reference stands as a statement piece for collectors who appreciate both mechanical excellence and the highest level of gem-set artistry.
