Rolex, as a world famous watch brand, naturally include a kind of expensive material - gold. In fact, we can understand the stainless steel material of Rolex, but many people do not know the mystery of the material of "Golden Rolex", and think the "Golden Rolex" is made of real and pure gold, so it is precious.

 

Actually, this kind of thinking is wrong. Think about it, even jewelry is rarely made of pure real gold, let alone a watch-sized accessory. How could it be all real gold? Without further ado, let us show you which styles can be “golden Rolexes” and if they are real gold.

 

Rolex Datejust/Day-Date

Most of the "golden Rolexes" that we often say are actually a replica Rolex Datejust type or a day-date type. As a frequent visitor to the film, this type of gold Rolex is often seen as a symbol of wealth. It is usually made of K gold and paired with sparkling diamonds, which can give people a luxurious atmosphere. But in fact, this K gold is not real gold, nor pure gold, but a molten metal with a gold content of about 70%, commonly known as 18k gold.

 

Rolex Submariner

Generally, replica Rolex Submariner is rarely linked with the word "gold". We see that the "gold submariner" is actually plated with a layer of gold on the stainless steel. But in fact, the official Rolex really has a K gold watch on the Submariner series, and this K gold watch includes 18k platinum and 18k gold. The K gold material on the water phantom watch is actually the same algorithm as the Rolex Datejust, and the 1K gold content is 4.1% (the same as platinum).

 

Rolex Yacht-Master

The replica Rolex Yacht-Master series is also a relatively well-known gold watch from Rolex, and there are a lot of precious metal materials in this collection from entry-level two-tone gold and steel to noble whit gold and platinum. But please do not confuse the two materials that are white gold and platinum. In fact, platinum is more advanced than gold and platinum, and Rolex's platinum grade is the standard of pt850, which is very luxurious.

 

Rolex Daytona

These replica Rolex Daytona series also belong to more materials, in addition to K gold and platinum we often say, as well as PVD gold plating and platinum diamonds, etc. The so-called PVD gold plating is actually just a layer of metallic material, or a metal-like material, on the stainless steel, and its intrinsic gold content is very low. Followed by white gold diamond, this diamond setting method is more harmonious than K gold and platinum.

 

In fact, this method of making K gold will not only be used in watches, but also in jewelry. This non-pure synthetic gold is harder and more wear resistant than pure gold. And after reducing the quantity, it can also reduce the manufacturing cost, so many factories can mass-produce "gold watches".
