The Rolex Day-Date 36 228238 green baguette dial sets ten baguette-cut stones across a deep green sunray surface inside a 40 mm 18k yellow gold case. Green on yellow gold is the warmest pairing the Day-Date offers, and flat baguettes cut across it in narrow lines instead of scattering light the way round stones do. The fluted bezel, the President bracelet and the case are all one metal, so the dial is left to carry the entire colour contrast by itself.

The sunray finish runs outward from the centre, so the green shifts between a bright, almost grassy tone under direct light and a deep bottle green indoors. Both tiers are in stock: the $349 A-grade with a Japanese automatic movement and the $849 super clone built around the clone Cal. 3255.

Three Green Dials, Three Hour Tracks

We list three green Day-Date 36 cards and the markers are what separate them: this one is stone-set with baguettes, one carries applied Roman numerals on a flat green lacquer, and the third fades from green to black as an ombre. Rolex’s own -0061 suffix belongs to the Roman version, so the green baguette is best treated as a factory dial with no catalogue number of its own – a green baguette Day-Date copy has no listed equivalent, and that is a description rather than a defect. All three greens are listed together in the yellow gold Day-Date 40 range.

Movement and Calendar

Both calendar discs jump at midnight rather than rolling over slowly, and in the super clone that is handled by a clone Cal. 3255 with a 70-hour power reserve, the figure Rolex publishes for the genuine calibre. Our Day-Date super clone factory comparison sets out how EW and BP differ on the A3255 clone and the President bracelet it drives.

Rolex Day-Date 40 228238 Green Baguette Dial Replica FAQ

Is the green baguette dial 228238 a catalogue dial or a factory variant?

It is a factory variant. Rolex’s green 228238 dials run as Roman numerals or as an ombre gradient; a green sunray dial set with ten baguettes does not appear in the catalogue, so we do not pin a Rolex suffix to it. Factory variants like this are common on Day-Date super clones and they are built to the same case and bracelet specification as the listed dials.

How much does the 228238 green baguette Day-Date 40 cost?

The A-grade with a Japanese automatic movement is $349 and the super clone with the clone Cal. 3255 is $849. Both share the 40 mm 18k yellow gold case, the fluted bezel, the President bracelet and the stone-set green dial; the movement is the only difference, and the Rolex Day-Date 40 228238 green baguette dial is listed under both options on this page.
