White gold case and bracelet sports watch

Any recommendations for a sports watch in white gold with white gold bracelet .......besides Rolex?

I've been looking around but don't really see any options.

By sports watch I mean 100m + WR

Breguet's Marine line has 3 (and check the previous generation Marine for more):

Keep in mind that Rolex Whitegold formulation is quite special because it does not turn yellowish with time and I’m is not plated Rhodium like most other whitegold things.

Patek 3711/1G (should be water resistant to 120m like 5711/1A but you'd need to confirm)
Vacheron Overseas Ultra-Thin 2000V (water resistant to 150m)

The Vacheron Overseas Ultra-Thin is water resistant to 50m only (and near impossible to find on top) which leaves the Patek 3711/1G from the two above.

Seems a hole in the market. IMO the best option is the Rolex Day-Date, even with all its limitations. The Odysseus is an option but no bracelet and I can’t abide the “integration” of the white gold’s straps.

I’d buy a white gold 5711 in a heartbeat.

Objectively, nothing. Subjectively, it’s a Rolex, with all the good and bad connotations that come with that.

(For the record, the Day Date is my favourite Rolex, by far.)
