The bright new Oyster Perpetual “Celebration” dial is splashed with multicolored bubbles, all highlighting the colors of lacquered dials introduced in 2020, and is available in 31mm, 36mm and 41mm sizes, while the Day-Date 36 seen here showcases a colorful jigsaw-puzzle motif and substitutes emotions for the days of the week seen in the aperture at 12 o’clock. Kermit wasn’t the only whimsical motif introduced in Geneva: Rolex surprised attendees by introducing dial designs that felt undeniably more joyful and exuberant than collectors typically anticipate from this status brand.
