From SwissWatchExpo… Spotlight On: Our favorite All Gold Rolex
Sport Watches, as seen on stars.
Rolex sport watches, and solid gold Rolex timepieces, are the most coveted models from the brand.
But what if you can have both - and in one watch to boot?
Rolex's tool watches were created for utilitarian purposes, but with time, they have evolved
into luxurious timepieces -- constructed in precious metals and different colorways.
The result? True statement pieces that are both very functional and capable, and also
very luxurious and decadent. Here are our favorite solid yellow gold Rolex sport watches,
and the stars who love them:
The Rolex GMT Master 1675/8 (one six seven five eight) is not just eye-catching in yellow gold,
it's also quite historic. The transitional model marked a number of changes and updates to
the GMT Master line.
It was equipped with the then new Caliber 3075 (thirty seventyfive) with 28,800 vibrations
per hour, the quick set date feature,, and marked the first time that Rolex fitted
a GMT Master, with the sapphire crystal.
This is a very handsome timepiece that can go from day to night, thanks to the addition
of the Jubilee bracelet, which gives it a slightly dressier look. Arnold Schwarzenegger
is shown here wearing the same model with both casual and business ensembles.
If you want a modern GMT Master, look no further than the 50th anniversary watch as seen on
singer Nick Jonas. Released in 2005, this commemorative model features Rolex’s signature
green color on the dial.
Paired with solid gold construction, and a stunning black Cerachrom bezel with yellow
gold numerals, this watch is simply hard to miss.
Of course, the Rolex Submariner won’t be missing from our list. A true diver’s watch
done in solid yellow gold, is the epitome of form and function.
Mark Wahlberg sports blue bezel and dial reference 116618 (one one six six one eight), which
looks every inch a statement timepiece.
But this watch goes beyond looks. Since this is a Rolex Submariner, it's very well-suited
for diving, with its depth rating of 300 meters, unidirectional rotating bezel, luminous hour
markers, and a bracelet that can extend to fit over a diving suit.

For a more classic gold Submariner, here’s the reference 16618 (one six six one eight).
Launched in the 1960s, this was the first ever Submariner available in all gold.
Sylvester Stallone and Justin Theroux are fans, with Justin even wearing a model produced
on his birth year! The handsome satin and high-polish finish makes this model suitable
for both professional and formal wear.
It was updated decades after with the six digit reference, which boasts a Cerachrom
ceramic bezel, broader lugs for a larger fit, a Triplock screw down crown for three times
the waterproofness, and a Maxi Dial with larger hours and wider hands.
Now let’s get to the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. Yellow gold versions of the Daytona are
most often seen with champagne or black dials, so a green dial version is a refreshing take.
Green is of course a significant color for Rolex, and this model is on a league of its
own. While the Day-Date 40 has a mossy green dial, and the Submariner has bright tones
with the Hulk, the dial here is a deep metallic green, made sleeker with the sunburst technique.
Introduced in 2016, it sports a full 18k yellow gold tachymeter bezel, case and bracelet.
Jonah Hill and John Mayer are fans of this very decadent timepiece.
Built almost entirely in 18k yellow gold except for the blue Cerachrom bezel, the 44 millimeter
Rolex Yachtmaster Two is one that will command attention wherever you wear it.
Due to its size, color and heft, it has become a favorite among celebrities like Conor McGregor,
Mark Wahlberg, David Beckham, and Drake.
It's not all about looks, though. This timepiece is also one of Rolex's most mechanically
complex. The Yachtmaster II combines the features of a regatta watch and chronograph.
It's also equipped with the Ring Command Bezel, which works in conjuction with the
movement, and is used to set the watch.
Partly robust, and partly luxurious, these all gold Rolex sport watches offer the best
of both worlds.
