Three golds fused into a single bracelet, a trick Rolex pulled off in the 1980s and never repeated. Overlooked for years while everyone chased two tone steel, it has collectors circling back all at once. Anyone who loves a Datejust but hates seeing it on someone else will get this one instantly.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Woven from white, yellow, and rose gold fused down the center, the President bracelet throws three colors at once and changes with every turn of the wrist. Framed by ten diamonds, the champagne dial glows warm gold in daylight and closer to peach by candlelight. Crowned by a fluted yellow gold bezel on a white gold case, the front pairs two metals Rolex rarely combined at this size.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. The screw down crown sits at three o’clock and unscrews counterclockwise until it pops free. Turned flat against the case, it hand winds the caliber 2135 to roughly forty two hours of reserve. One click out quick sets the date and two clicks out sets the time, so set the date to yesterday and walk the hour hand forward until today lands. Screwed back down, the crown seals it to 100 meters, and the chronometer certified movement inside holds one of the highest first time pass rates on record.
Production ended near the turn of the century, and the fusion never returned. For a collector building something personal, or a wife who already owns the classics, nothing else fills this lane. Pieces like this go quietly, and the first to move already knew why.
