Solid yellow gold on the President bracelet at 26mm: the ladies' version of the most famous gold watch in the world. This is the last generation before Rolex moved the line to 28mm in 2015.
Gold ladies' models have lagged the steel and two-tone rally, so this trades well under its old retail even as the 26mm steel models climb fast.
That gap is the opportunity. The gold itself puts a floor under the price, and the last-of-the-26mm status gives it the same story that lifted its steel siblings.
Mother of pearl and factory diamond dials are the configurations that sell first. Avoid any example with aftermarket stones.
Our verdict: B: the catch-up candidate of the ladies' rally, with melt value as a floor.
