A full gold Rolex Datejust is made entirely from 18ct gold: case, bezel and bracelet. Full gold Datejusts are produced in far smaller numbers than steel or two-tone, mainly in the Lady-Datejust sizes, and are often paired with diamond bezels and dials.
Yellow, white and Everose gold
Rolex casts its own 18ct gold alloys in-house. Yellow gold is the classic choice, white gold looks like steel but is heavier, and Everose is Rolex’s proprietary rose gold designed to hold its colour.
Gold or two-tone?
If you want the warmth of gold at a lower price, a two-tone Rolex Datejust gives a similar look with a steel case and gold accents.
How to choose a gold Datejust
Full gold Datejusts are heavier and softer than steel, so check bracelet stretch and polishing in each listing. Factory diamond dials and bezels are common on gold models and are noted where present.
Frequently asked questions
Is a gold Rolex Datejust heavy?
Yes, a full gold Datejust is noticeably heavier than steel. Many owners enjoy that solid feel.
Gold Datejust or Day-Date?
The Day-Date is only made in precious metals and adds a day display; a gold Datejust gives a similar richness. See our Day-Date vs Datejust guide.
