If you could sum up Rolex’s mission, from the very beginning, it was to make watches that were simultaneously highly luxurious and extremely robust. 
It was a process that the brand originally patented in 1933, but it was not until the late 1940s that it found its first application and spiritual home on the Datejust. However, this look proved to be ahead of its time and did not gain popularity in the early days.
As for gold, replica Rolex used different grades of precious metal during its run. The lower grades were found mainly in the American market, where 14K was the purest gold that could be legally sold in the United States between 1934 and 1974. During their formative years, manufacturers also used 9K.
This was all part of their transformation from simply being the best watchmaker to the ultimate lifestyle brand. With the invention of quartz technology, the traditional watchmaking fraternity was forced to reposition itself as a status symbol, trading on its artistry and heritage rather than price and accuracy; they were unlikely to win against the new electronics.
Due to the high concentration of precious metals, 18K gold is the most expensive grade used in the watch industry and is clearly reflected in the price of watches. The weight can also be surprising, as these models are obviously heavy.
In addition, the brand combines different colors of gold with steel to give each model its own personality. Currently, the copy Rolex Everose Rolesor is proving to be particularly popular, offering a visual effect with a pleasant warmth. The yellow Rolesor is the most traditional and the easiest aesthetic to get in and out of fashion.
White Rolesor, on the other hand, is the most neutral, with shades of gold and steel that look similar at first glance before the subtle sheen of the precious metal shines through. Interestingly, for the white Rolesor piece, Rolex only uses gold on the bezel, while the rest of the watch is stainless steel. For the other two types, precious metals make up the bezel, the winding crown and the central bracelet links.
