Royal Oak 39mm Gold Bracelet

Hi everyone,

Looking at a 26068 that is for sale locally and just wondering out of interest if there is any possibility of getting a bracelet in yellow gold (no diamonds) to suit?

I tried looking online to get an idea of price, but don't even know the reference number of a yellow gold bracelet.



Cheers!

Why not send an email with your question to one of the ADs, Boutiques or AP Houses?

There was a previous thread that I recall because someone had a comically stretched out gold RO bracelet:
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=605665

He said 19,806 Euros for the full gold bracelet replacement (in 2018).

That thread was worth the quick read (for amusement, rather than educational value)

I wonder if this happened because the watch was worn so tight. Ive seen a bunch of people wearing tight watches, more so for being cheap than for comfort. Rolex steel links are $200 each and gold links cost about $750-$900,and platinum are $1200-$1500. Its not worth the long term wear and abuse on a bracelet wearing it so tight.

Actually, this happens when the bracelet is worn too loose.

Agree, it’s the friction that wears out the bracelet. With that said; even worn snug, bracelet will over time will get more and more play.
