This replica reproduces the Rolex Day-Date 228238, the “President” watch that has been synonymous with prestige since its 1956 debut. The Day-Date was the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week (spelled out in full) and the date. This particular configuration features a silver diamond-set dial in a rose gold-plated case — a combination that balances opulence with refined restraint. Our replica captures the distinctive day/date windows and the gem-set elegance of this reference.

The 228238 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The 36mm rose gold-plated case features a diamond-set bezel that frames the silver dial with brilliance. The dial displays diamond hour markers, a day window at 12 o’clock spelling out the full weekday, and a date window at 3 o’clock magnified by the Cyclops lens.
The semi-circular three-link President bracelet — exclusive to the Day-Date line since 1956 — delivers a concealed Crownclasp for a seamless profile. The rose gold finish extends uniformly across every link. Explore the full range in our Day-Date collection.
