The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228345RBR in 18ct Everose gold with a chocolate sunray dial and diamond-set bezel is one of the most prestigious and luxurious watches Rolex has ever produced. It marries mechanical mastery with exquisite craftsmanship, designed for those who demand elegance, performance, and presence.
🔹
Case and Materials
This watch is housed in a 40mm Oyster case, crafted entirely from Rolex’s proprietary 18ct Everose gold—a patented alloy containing gold, copper, and platinum, designed to retain its warm tone forever. The case is topped by a stunning factory-set bezel, encrusted with brilliant-cut diamonds, offering brilliance and timeless glamor without compromising elegance.

Dial Details
The dial is a rich chocolate brown with a sunray finish, complemented by brilliant-cut diamond hour markers, each nestled in polished 18ct gold settings. The color and sparkle contrast beautifully with the rose-toned case, creating a high-end, yet sophisticated visual. It also includes:
- Day window at 12 o’clock (displaying the full day of the week)
- Date window at 3 o’clock (with Cyclops lens for easy reading)

Movement
Inside beats the Rolex Calibre 3255, a self-winding mechanical movement developed in-house. It features:
- 70-hour power reserve
- Chronergy escapement (energy efficient + anti-magnetic)
- Blue Parachrom hairspring (shock and temperature resistant)
- Superlative Chronometer Certification – precision of −2/+2 seconds per day
This movement ensures not only exceptional reliability but also Rolex’s hallmark instantaneous date and day change mechanism at midnight.

Bracelet
The timepiece is fitted with the iconic President bracelet, also made of solid Everose gold. Known for its semi-circular three-piece links, the bracelet is both elegant and supremely comfortable. The concealed folding Crownclasp preserves the bracelet’s seamless aesthetic, making the clasp virtually invisible when worn.
