Watch Description:
Just in—a remarkable 26mm Rolex Datejust crafted entirely in 18ct yellow gold. Carrying an N serial number, this watch is accompanied by its original Rolex guarantee paper confirming that it was first sold on 14th May 1993 by Oomiya Watch Store in Wakayama, Japan.
There is an unmistakable allure to a solid-gold Rolex. From the warmth and reassuring weight of the precious metal to the way it catches the light on the wrist, it offers a level of presence that steel and bi-metal watches simply cannot replicate. This beautiful example pairs its 18ct yellow-gold Oyster case with a champagne dial featuring elegant diamond hour markers, all framed by the instantly recognisable Rolex fluted gold bezel.
Completing the look is the prestigious 18ct yellow-gold President bracelet with its beautifully discreet concealed Crownclasp. The bracelet is particularly generous in length—an important consideration with older solid-gold Rolex watches, as replacement links can be both difficult and expensive to source. Its substantial length, flowing five-piece links and concealed clasp give the watch the wonderfully seamless, jewellery-like appearance for which the President bracelet is so admired.
The completeness of this set makes the watch particularly special. Included in the sale are the original Rolex inner and outer boxes, original Japanese guarantee paper, Rolex Datejust booklet, Oyster booklet, Rolex dust cloth, swing tag, test papers and Alward Luxury Watches warranty card. Finding a solid-gold Rolex of this age is becoming increasingly difficult; finding one retaining such an extensive collection of its original accessories and documentation is rarer still.
Having undergone a full service in August 2026, the watch is presented in excellent condition both aesthetically and mechanically. It is running beautifully and is ready to be worn, admired and enjoyed for many years to come.
These increasingly scarce solid-gold Datejusts occupy a very special place within the vintage Rolex market. Their timeless proportions, precious-metal construction and unmistakable wrist presence make them enormously appealing, while well-preserved, comprehensively documented examples are becoming ever harder to replace. This is not simply a beautiful gold Rolex—it is a wonderfully complete surviving example from a golden era of the marque.
