The Rolex Day-Date 40 228398TBR delivers one of the most distinctive, high-jewelry expressions of the Day-Date line, pairing a solid yellow gold 40 mm case with a black diamond-baguette dial and a matching diamond-baguette bezel. The dramatic contrast between the deep black dial and the precision-cut gems gives this reference a powerful visual identity, elevating the classic “President’s Watch” into something boldly expressive.

The dial’s baguette diamonds are arranged with both clarity and flair, providing strong legibility while reinforcing the watch’s couture-level finishing, and the bezel’s baguette stones continue that theme with seamless sparkle. Mounted on a yellow gold President bracelet, the 228398TBR balances rich material presence with a statement aesthetic that remains rooted in Rolex’s heritage of elevated dress watches. For collectors drawn to distinctive gem-set executions with modern impact, this reference stands out as a compelling fusion of technical refinement and luxurious design language.
