Oyster band available but far less common, and has the links vs clasp look.
I seen two In Rose gold recently.

I have seen them with a jubilee style clasp oyster bracelet too. Saw one recently at an antiques fair for £3,500. Didnt like the non president bracelet or the acrylic lens.
Also seen them with the super jubilee concealed clasp. Depends on its history I suppose and if the bracelet had ever been replaced.

Rolex offers the Day-Date with the oyster bracelet, as well as the president bracelet. Their website features a rose gold 36mm Day-Date with an oyster bracelet.

President and Oyster bracelets are available currently. The watch is a Day-Date no matter what bracelet as far as Rolex is concerned. See my Day-Date in my avatar for an example with the oyster.

I do not mean to pry but may I know if the serial of your gold DD and the gold oyster clasp number fit? Serial numbers of watches and clasp numbers should be near identical production lot.
I am trying to do a little research for my personal history books.
If this is an inappropriate and intrusion question please disregard and my apologies for bringing it up.

+1. I believe the current DD offering by Rolex only comes in President (bracelet). The Oyster has been dropped. Cheers,

Not true. the current Dealer catalog shows the oyster. As well as the Rolex website.
