Unveiled as part of Rolex's 2026 new watches collection, the Day-Date 40 in Jubilee gold represents one of the manufacture's most significant material innovations in recent memory. Jubilee gold is an entirely new 18-karat alloy developed and produced exclusively in-house by Rolex, glowing with a distinctive blend of tender yellow, warm grey, and soft pink tones that distinguish it from any existing gold in the Rolex catalog. Presented on the Day-Date — the reference historically reserved for heads of state and cultural figures — this proprietary alloy signals a new chapter in the model's already unparalleled prestige. Production is strictly limited to authorized channels.

The 40mm Jubilee gold case carries the signature fluted bezel, paired with the three-link President bracelet in matching Jubilee gold. The light green aventurine dial — a quartz-based mineral whose natural shimmer complements the case's gilded warmth — features applied baguette diamond hour markers set in Jubilee gold mounts, with the characteristic day aperture at twelve and magnified date window at three. Caliber 3255 powers the movement.

*Reference 228235JG is an off-catalog model, produced in very limited numbers and allocated exclusively through select authorized dealers.
