New Yellow Gold Le Mans?

I’ve just come across this on my Instagram from someone at W&W.

Does anyone else know anything?

With this and the YG DSSD this year looks like Rolex have lost touch with reality, heads seem up AP and PP arses, and I hope SM and the forums kill them for it.

Coke will be sent to rescue next year's WW and make sure they don't have a flop two years running which is a risk they cannot take now.

I think it would’ve been a 10/10 if the sub dials were more of a yellow hue, following the JPS Paul Newman of old.

It could have moved to off-catalog.

It’s an off catalogue watch so by definition it’s not in the catalogue…

Yes, you could spec the WG Lemans in the online configurator. It doesn't look like you can with the yellow gold.

New Yellow Gold Le Mans?

I think the word "catalogue" misleads a bit. There is sales collateral that ADs order to distribute among shoppers in their store. That won't be showing some of the exotic models.

The YG is not a configuration on the website.

But the SS, WG, and YG Le Mans are all on Rolex's intranet just so RSCs can locate/order the replacement parts.

It’s real. Several IG reals showing it along with other new “catalog” watches

This is probably my favourite Rolex release this year. Not one I’d buy (even if I had a chance of getting one) but I do like it.
