Rolex’s six-watch Day-Date 36 group reported in March 2023 split between three stone-dial models and three puzzle-dial models. The stone versions pair green aventurine with Everose gold, carnelian with yellow gold, and turquoise with platinum; the puzzle versions replace the conventional day and date displays with words and emojis.

What changed across the six Day-Date 36 models?

The collection divides into two distinct dial ideas. Hodinkee’s 2023 report identifies the stone-dial references as 128345RBR, 128348RBR and 128396TBR, each in a 36 mm case. Bangkok Post’s coverage describes the puzzle-dial decoration as champlevé enamel.

Dial style Reported pairing or display Reference information
Green aventurine stone Everose gold 128345RBR, per Hodinkee’s 2023 report
Carnelian stone Yellow gold 128348RBR, per Hodinkee’s 2023 report
Turquoise stone Platinum 128396TBR, per Hodinkee’s 2023 report
Puzzle motif Yellow gold; words and emoji indications Reference not stated in the cited coverage
Puzzle motif White gold; words and emoji indications Reference not stated in the cited coverage
Puzzle motif Everose gold; words and emoji indications Reference not stated in the cited coverage

How do the puzzle dials show the day and date?

Rather than the usual day-of-the-week window and date numeral, each puzzle dial uses the upper arc to display one of seven words: Happy, Eternity, Gratitude, Peace, Faith, Love or Hope. The date aperture shows one of 31 emojis. The result changes the watch’s familiar calendar layout into a more expressive display; it is not simply a different dial color.

What specifications were reported?

Hodinkee reported a 36 mm case, 100 m water-resistance rating, calibre 3255 and Presidential bracelet for the six-watch group. Bangkok Post reported approximately 70 hours of power reserve. These are figures and construction details from 2023 secondary coverage; the available official Rolex collection page does not provide the specific launch details for these variants.

When were these watches introduced, and what is known about availability?

The six-watch group is a 2023 release, not a 2026 novelty. Hodinkee’s dated report and the Bangkok Post coverage describe the launch; Rolex’s official Day-Date collection page establishes the collection but does not, in the material available here, confirm these particular 2023 variants.
