Rolex Day-Date 128238 Puzzle Dial

The Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 128238 “Emoji Puzzle” pairs 18k yellow gold with a vibrant jigsaw-pattern enamel dial, featuring uplifting day displays and playful emoji dates—a rare, artistic twist on the iconic President.

The Rolex Day-Date 36 Ref. 128238 offers a playful and unconventional take on the legendary President line. Crafted entirely from 18k yellow gold, its 36 mm case and fluted bezel surround a vibrant champlevé enamel dial rendered in a multicolored jigsaw puzzle motif. In place of the traditional calendar display, the day wheel presents seven positive affirmations—among them “Love” and “Hope”—while the date aperture cycles through 31 expressive emojis, turning each glance into a delight.

Although not officially numbered, production was exceptionally limited and allocation highly selective, making this one of the rarest contemporary Day-Date configurations. Ten baguette-cut, multi-colored sapphires serve as hour markers, offering a subtle gemstone flourish that complements the dial’s artistic character. For collectors, the “Emoji Puzzle” Day-Date stands as a unique fusion of creativity, craftsmanship, and rarity—an unexpected, joyful highlight within Rolex’s storied heritage.
