Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228348RBR Yellow Gold with Black Diamond-Set Dial & Factory Diamond Bezel

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228348RBR in 18 kt yellow gold is a refined balance of classic elegance and gem-set luxury. Known as the “President’s Watch,” the Day-Date line represents Rolex’s pinnacle of prestige—reserved for those who appreciate craftsmanship, exclusivity, and timeless design.

This model features a striking black dial, enriched with factory-set brilliant-cut diamond hour markers. Each stone is hand-selected and mounted by Rolex’s master gem-setters, ensuring perfect alignment, clarity, and brilliance. The contrast between the deep black dial and the shimmering diamonds creates an instantly recognizable and powerful look.

Encircling the dial is the signature RBR diamond bezel, a full ring of meticulously matched diamonds that enhances the watch’s depth and radiance without overwhelming its understated sophistication. The warmth of the 18 kt yellow gold case and President bracelet provides a rich backdrop that highlights the precision gem-setting work.

Powered by Rolex’s high-performance automatic calibre, the Day-Date 40 delivers exceptional accuracy, reliability, and long-term service life. The iconic President bracelet—with its semi-circular links—offers unmatched comfort and status, completing the unmistakable Day-Date silhouette.

Elegant, bold, and luxurious, this configuration is ideal for collectors who want diamond detailing while maintaining a sleek and versatile black-dial aesthetic.
