Rolex Gets Creative With the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36

Known to reign the world of horologerie with their iconic Oyster Perpetual, Rolex introduces an unexpected creative twist with three new variants of its Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36.

Crafted from 18 ct yellow, white or Everose gold, these watches adopt a creative new face with an arc-shaped aperture at 12 o’clock displaying an inspirational keyword in English – ‘Happy’, ‘Eternity’, ‘Gratitude’, ‘Peace’, ‘Faith’, ‘Love’ and ‘Hope’. The date-display window at 3 o’clock reveals daily one of 31 exclusive emojis in place of the date.

Created using champlevé enamelling, the dial gleams colour and decoration with a jigsaw puzzle inspired motif made of turquoise blue, red, fuchsia, orange, green and yellow pieces against a single-colour background. The hours are marked by 10 baguette-cut sapphires in six different hues according to the main colour of the dial:

  1. Turquoise blue on the 18 ct yellow gold version 
  2. Turquoise blue on the 18 ct white gold version
  3. Orange on the watch in 18 ct Everose gold version

The new Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 are guaranteed waterproof to 100m and is equipped with the calibre 3255 that enables the watch to display a special keyword each day of the week and an individual emoji each day of the month, as well as the hours, minutes, and seconds.

Each version is fitted with a three-piece link President bracelet matching the case:
18 ct yellow or white gold for those with a turquoise blue puzzle-motif dial, or in 18 ct Everose gold for the orange puzzle-motif dial.
