Rolex Day-Date 40mm White Mother of Pearl 228238

Mother-of-Pearl Dial

Celebrating Natural Beauty

This elegant dial is adorned with 10 baguette-cut diamonds, adding a touch of refined brilliance. Mother-of-pearl is a naturally unique material known for its captivating variations. Depending on its origin, it may display shades of pink, white, black, or yellow, with differences in tone, texture, and intensity based on the part of the shell from which it is sourced.

At Rolex, mother-of-pearl is never artificially colored. Instead, expert craftsmanship focuses on enhancing and preserving its natural beauty and original hues. Because each dial is crafted from a unique piece of material, no two mother-of-pearl dials are ever exactly the same, making every watch truly distinctive.

Fluted Bezel

The Signature of Rolex

The fluted bezel is one of Rolex’s most recognizable design features, combining history, function, and style. Originally, the grooves on the Oyster bezel served a practical purpose: they allowed the bezel to be securely screwed onto the case, helping ensure the watch’s waterproof performance.

This fluting mirrored that of the screw-down case back, both crafted using specialized Rolex tools. Over time, what began as a functional element evolved into a hallmark of elegance and distinction. Today, the gold fluted bezel on the Day-Date 40 stands as a symbol of craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless sophistication.

Only the finest raw materials are selected, and every alloy is rigorously tested in state-of-the-art in-house laboratories. Once approved, the gold is expertly shaped and finished with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting Rolex’s commitment to excellence from the very foundation of every timepiece.
