The Rolex Day-Date reference 228398 is a 40mm timepiece in Yellow Gold presented in used condition, with a Baguette Diamond dial, Diamond YG bezel, President bracelet, dated circa 2006. This piece is customized — aftermarket-modified (setting or dial added outside the manufacturer); not original factory condition. Every watch is inspected and authenticated by our specialists before it is offered, so you can buy with confidence.
Since its 1956 debut, the Day-Date has stood as Rolex's apex production reference, produced only in 18k gold or platinum. Its two signatures, a day spelled out in full and the integrated President bracelet, separate it from anything else the marque builds. Worn by heads of state and executives, it remains the clearest statement of precious-metal prestige. We verify every example in-house before it reaches you. Read the full Day-Date buying guide ›
Hans Wilsdorf founded Rolex in 1905, and the Geneva manufacture has since become the benchmark against which most mechanical watches are judged. Its engineers pioneered waterproofing, self-winding movements, and date displays, building a reputation for precision and durability. Before you buy, our desk verifies the Oyster case, the Perpetual movement, and the Cyclops lens. With supply trailing demand, steel sports references often trade above retail, so confirmed authentication matters. Browse all Rolex ›
