Solid 18k yellow gold on the President bracelet. Up 25.3 percent in the recent dealer data and additionally supported by record gold prices.
Gold content gives it a hard floor the steel models lack.
Solid 18k yellow gold on a President bracelet at 26mm: the full-fat version of the ladies' Datejust, worn by grandmothers who knew exactly what they had.
Gold ladies' models lagged the steel and two-tone rally, which makes this the catch-up candidate. You're buying a President for a fraction of the men's price, and the melt value alone puts a floor under it.
Our verdict: The bullion-backed version of the 26mm trade. Slower to flip, but the melt value underneath is real.
