The “Celebration” is a Rolex Oyster Perpetual dial unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2023: a turquoise-blue lacquer ground scattered with bubbles in candy pink, turquoise, yellow, coral red and green, each outlined in black. It was offered in three sizes — OP 31 (277200), OP 36 (126000) and OP 41 (124300) — until Rolex retired the dial at Watches & Wonders 2025, and, unusually for a Rolex nickname, “celebration-motif” is the brand’s own wording rather than a collector invention.
Why is it called the Celebration?
The dial celebrates Rolex’s own recent past. In September 2020 the Oyster Perpetual line gained a set of bright lacquer dials — turquoise, coral red, yellow, green and candy pink — that became unexpected cult hits; the 41 mm turquoise was discontinued in 2022 after barely two years, and secondary prices climbed to multiples of retail. The 2023 bubble dial brought all five colours back on one dial, in a distinctly un-Rolex burst of playfulness. The execution is precise rather than random: the 41 mm Celebration dial carries exactly 51 lacquered bubbles of varying sizes, each ringed in black and filled with one of the five 2020 colours. The 36 and 41 mm versions run calibre 3230 with a 70-hour reserve; the 31 mm uses calibre 2232.

Rolex never designated the Celebration a limited edition, but it retired the dial across all three sizes at Watches & Wonders 2025 — a two-year catalogue life almost identical to that of the turquoise OP 41 the motif was celebrating.
Super clone availability
Grand Watch Club does not currently list a Celebration-dial Oyster Perpetual clone in this exact configuration — the bubble motif is a demanding dial to reproduce well, and we would rather list nothing than a poor rendition. The closest match in stock is the turquoise “Tiffany” dial Oyster Perpetual clone: the same turquoise lacquer ground the bubbles sit on, in the colour that started the whole story in 2020. The listings below are the nearest current alternatives.
