Rolex 228235JG-0002 Day-Date 40mm Jubilee Gold Gold Leaf Dial Watch

Rolex 228235JG-0002 Day-Date 40mm Jubilee Gold Gold Leaf Dial Watch

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228235JG-0002 is the companion Exceptional Watch to the green aventurine 228235JG-0003 — the second expression of Jubilee Gold, Rolex’s entirely new in-house 18-carat alloy, paired with a gold leaf dial that creates an all-warm, monochromatic composition of extraordinary refinement. Case Shape: Round. Where the aventurine reference creates contrast between stone and metal, the 228235JG-0002 achieves unity — gold alloy, gold dial, gold hands — a single material universe with infinite tonal variation.

Jubilee Gold — The New Standard

Jubilee Gold’s unique formula — combining tender yellow, warm grey, and soft pink within a single 18-carat alloy — is shown to its fullest advantage in the 228235JG-0002’s all-gold composition. Without a contrasting dial material, the alloy’s characteristic tonal shift becomes the watch’s principal visual event: the fluted bezel, President bracelet, and case flanks all catching light at different angles simultaneously, each surface rendering the same metal in a subtly different way. The ceramic inserts in the President bracelet links provide long-term durability without altering the alloy’s surface character.

The Gold Leaf Dial — Warm Monochrome

The gold leaf dial of the 228235JG-0002 creates a composition of complete tonal unity with the Jubilee Gold case — warm metal meeting warm dial in a harmony that is simultaneously subtle and unmistakable. Applied Jubilee Gold hour markers and hands sweep the surface with the same alloy as the case, creating a watch where every component speaks the same material language. The day and date apertures at 12 and 3 o’clock are framed in Jubilee Gold, maintaining the visual consistency throughout.

Calibre 3255 — 70 Hours of Presidential Precision

The automatic Calibre 3255 with Chronergy escapement, Parachrom blue hairspring, and 70-hour power reserve powers the 228235JG-0002 to the 2026 Superlative Chronometer standard — -2/+2 seconds per day after casing. Water resistant to 100 metres. Available exclusively through select authorised Rolex dealers as an Exceptional Watch.
