Introducing the Rolex Day-Date 36 128238 stands out as a playful reinterpretation of the iconic President model. Encased entirely in 18k yellow gold, its 36 mm case and fluted bezel frame a champlevé enamel dial featuring a jigsaw puzzle pattern in vibrant hues. In lieu of traditional day and date display, the day wheel alternates between seven uplifting words—such as “Love” and “Hope”—while the date wheel cycles through 31 colorful emojis, making each glance a moment of surprise.
Though not a numbered limited edition, this model was released in exceptionally small quantities and allocated selectively, making it distinctly rare in Rolex’s modern catalog. The ten multi-colored, baguette-cut sapphire hour markers add gemstone intrigue without overwhelming the whimsical dial. For collectors, the Emoji Puzzle Day‑Date represents a rare merger of artistic expression and Rolex craftsmanship—a lighthearted yet highly collectible chapter in the brand’s storied series.
