In 1956, Rolex designed the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date becoming the first wristwatch to show the day of the week displayed and spelled out in a full window in the upper part of the dial. Since then, the Day-Date has become an important symbol for influential world leaders. U.S. Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, Reagan, Nixon and Roosevelt were all proud wearers of the Day-Date, and considered the Day-Date one of the most beautiful watches in the entire Rolex Collection. This Day-Date 228238 is presented in a 40mm 18kt yellow gold case, with an exquisite silver diagonal motif dial decorated with index hour markers. A final class of touch for this Day-Date 228238 is represented by the yellow gold President bracelet, also created in 1956. The Day-Date 228238 President bracelet, with its semi-circular three-piece links, represents the ultimate in refinement and comfort and is always made of carefully selected precious yellow gold. The Day-Date 228238 is water resistant down to 100 meters and has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. This watch is also known as: Rolex 228238, 228238,
