Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 128238 Yellow Gold with Puzzle Emoji Jigsaw Motif Dial

The Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 128238 with the Puzzle Emoji Jigsaw Motif Dial is one of the most imaginative, unconventional, and conversation-starting executions ever released in the Day-Date collection. Crafted from solid 18 kt Yellow Gold, the watch maintains the heritage elegance of the Day-Date line while embracing a bold, artistic, and playful new direction.

The standout feature of this reference is the Puzzle Motif Dial, designed as a vibrant mosaic of multicolored jigsaw pieces interspersed with expressive emoji-style icons, symbols of love, positivity, and human connection. Unlike traditional Day-Date models with classic Roman or baguette markers, this rare creation transforms the dial into a joyful, artistic statement—making it one of the most collectible and polarizing modern Rolex designs.

The iconic fluted bezel, crafted exclusively in gold, adds a brilliant reflective geometry that amplifies the lively character of the dial while grounding it in the unmistakable language of Rolex prestige.

Completing the watch is the legendary President bracelet, renowned for its exceptional comfort, semi-circular links, and unmistakable silhouette. It embodies the power, status, and refinement expected of a Day-Date, even when paired with such a playful and expressive dial.

The Day-Date “Puzzle Emoji” is a standout piece for collectors who appreciate rarity, creativity, and the merging of high horology with emotional storytelling. This model sits at the intersection of fine craftsmanship and whimsical artistry—making it a modern icon in Rolex’s experimental design catalog.
