Datejust 1574 replica

Rolex has indeed announced that the watch was made for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and although there is no “Le Mans” on the watch, many of the designs can already be seen as practical collaborations. Therefore, this Le Mans commemorative model can be seen as a follow-up after Rolex revealed the transparent caseback Daytona, the Coloured Bubble Oyster Perpetual, and the Enamel Puzzle DD models at the 2023 Watches & Wonders Exhibition.

Rolex is using this unusual series of new products to show people that it has really changed and wants to shift away from the conservative, mysterious, and perhaps somewhat dull image it had in the past. If the Daytona 60th Anniversary is a tech update with the new movement, the Perpetual Bubble is a further version of the five-colour lacquer, and the Enamel Puzzle is a continuation of the Stella lacquer plate and the Jewel Plate DD, then these can also be seen as Rolex’s breakthroughs in its own world, though at a surprising pace.

In particular, the day-date window on the Enamel Puzzle DD shows not the day of the week and the date, but Emojis and text, which is far from the image of Rolex‘s strict tool watch. Is this still the Rolex you remember?
