40,125.86 2021 170960 C Excellent Mens Box and Papers Yellow Gold Sapphire 40mm 18k Yellow Gold Fluted 3D96CXXX Champagne w/ Roman hour markers, Non-Luminous hands & Nonluminous lume 3255 Automatic Fixed Date Yellow Gold President Concealed Folding Crownclasp Pre-owned Rolex Day-Date 40 ref 228238 (2021) is the current-production 40mm Rolex Presidential in exquisite 18k yellow gold.  When the collection debuted in the 1950s, it had a 36mm case.  With the 40mm model, the Day-Date appeals to a broader range of contemporary collectors because it's just large enough to make a statement without sacrificing the collection's notorious elegance and refined style.  This model is an 18k yellow gold Rolex with a dynamic brushed and polished finish, a fluted bezel that glitters beautifully as the wrist moves, and the famous three-link President bracelet with rounded links.  It displays the time on a matching champagne dial via sharply-faceted stick and Roman numeral hour markers.  By alternating stick markers and Roman numerals, Rolex has achieved an effortless balance on the dial that one can't help but admire.
