Rolex received US patent 12,259,688 B2 in March 2025 for a space-saving mechanism controlling separate date indicators, with priority dating to May 2020. Further filings concern a compact instantaneous calendar in 2025 and a 2026 solution making adjacent discs appear almost continuous. These patents protect technical solutions rather than announce a production watch.
