Rolex Yellow Gold Day-Date Ref. 228398TRU with Ruby Bezel

The modern Day-Date has long served as Rolexs canvas for its most extravagant gem-set creations, but few executions strike the balance of presence and restraint quite like the reference 228398TRU. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, this contemporary flagship pairs the commanding proportions of the 40mm Day-Date with a factory-set ruby bezel, matching ruby Roman numeral hour markers, and a fully pave diamond dialan unmistakable expression of Rolexs in-house gem-setting expertise.

Unlike aftermarket creations, every element of the watch was conceived and executed by Rolex from the outset. The vivid baguette-cut rubies framing the bezel are carefully matched for color and saturation, while the corresponding ruby Roman numerals create a striking visual rhythm across the diamond-set dial. Against the warmth of yellow gold, the rich crimson tones offer a dramatic contrast, transforming one of Rolexs most recognizable references into something altogether more distinctive.

Powering the watch is Rolexs calibre 3255, a chronometer-certified automatic movement featuring the instantaneous day and date display that has defined the Day-Date since its introduction in 1956. The solid gold President bracelet completes the package, delivering the weight, comfort, and unmistakable presence that have made the model a symbol of achievement for generations.

Preserved in excellent condition and accompanied by its original Rolex box and warranty card dated 2019, this reference 228398TRU represents one of the most compelling contemporary gemstone Day-Dates produced by Rolexcombining the practicality of the brands flagship calendar watch with a level of factory gem-setting rarely encountered in the market.
