A rose gold Rolex is a watch cased in Everose gold, Rolex's own 18-carat pink gold alloy, and the main models offered in it are the Day-Date, Sky-Dweller, Cosmograph Daytona and Datejust. Rolex casts the alloy in its own foundry and has used the Everose name since 2005. This guide explains what the metal is, which references come in it, how it differs from yellow and white gold, and how to have one sourced. Bizak & Co. is a sourcing desk, not an authorised Rolex retailer, and no watch here is owned inventory.

What is Everose gold?
Everose is Rolex's proprietary 18-carat rose gold, meaning 75 percent gold by weight alloyed with other metals to give a warm pink tone. Ordinary rose gold gets its color from copper, which can darken or tarnish over time. Rolex says its alloy is formulated to resist that fading, so the pink shade stays consistent. Sources disagree on the exact recipe: Rolex's own materials page names palladium and indium alongside copper, while many dealers credit platinum. Because the formula is proprietary, treat any single ingredient list as unconfirmed.
Everose is cast and finished in Rolex's own foundry, which is why the case, bezel and bracelet on a solid Everose model match each other closely in color. Some Rolex models mix it with steel: the Datejust, for example, pairs an Everose bezel with an Oystersteel case in the Rolesor combination, and a few sports models do the same.
Which Rolex models come in rose gold?
The Day-Date, Sky-Dweller, Cosmograph Daytona, Datejust and a handful of other lines are offered in Everose. The table below covers solid Everose references from the current generation of the three main models, based on published reference lists.
| Model | Everose reference | Case size | Bracelet or strap | Bezel | Movement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day-Date 40 | 228235 (diamond-set bezel: 228345RBR) | 40 mm | President bracelet | Fluted, or diamond-set | Caliber 3255 |
| Day-Date 36 | 128235 | 36 mm | President bracelet | Fluted | Caliber 3255 |
| Sky-Dweller | 336935 (bracelet), 336235 (Oysterflex) | 42 mm | Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, or Oysterflex | Fluted | Caliber 9002 |
| Cosmograph Daytona | 126505 (bracelet), 126515 (Oysterflex) | 40 mm | Oyster bracelet or Oysterflex | Gold tachymeter, or ceramic on the 126515 | Caliber 4131 |
The Datejust adds options at several sizes, including Everose versions of the Datejust 31, the Lady-Datejust 28 and the Datejust 41 with an Everose bezel on a steel case. Earlier generations, such as the Sky-Dweller 326935 and the Daytona 116505, also exist and appear on the pre-owned market.
What is the Rolex Day-Date in rose gold?
The Day-Date in Everose is the classic President watch in pink gold, with the day spelled out in full on the dial and a date window, both on a President bracelet. Rolex makes the Day-Date only in precious metals, so rose gold sits beside yellow gold, white gold and platinum rather than beside a steel option. Buyers searching "rose gold presidential" are usually looking for the 40 mm Rolex Day-Date 40 in rose gold or the smaller Day-Date 36 in rose gold. Our Day-Date President collection shows the wider family, including other metals and dial colors.
What is the Rolex Sky-Dweller in rose gold?
The Sky-Dweller is Rolex's travel watch with an annual calendar and a second time zone, and the Everose version is its warmest, most formal variant. It has been offered with a second time zone display since its 2012 launch, and the current 42 mm model uses a fluted bezel that is also the control for setting the calendar. Dial options in rose gold have included blue and sundust finishes, among others, though availability changes. See the Rolex Sky-Dweller rose gold models we can source, or the full Sky-Dweller collection.
Is there a rose gold Rolex Daytona?
Yes. The Cosmograph Daytona has been made in Everose gold for years, and the current 40 mm 126505 has an Everose case, bezel and bracelet. The Oysterflex version, the 126515LN, has a black Cerachrom ceramic tachymeter bezel. Rubber-strap Everose Daytonas are among the most searched variants because they feel more casual than the full gold bracelet. Browse the Rolex Daytona rose gold collection for the options we can source.
How does rose gold differ from yellow and white gold on a Rolex?
All three are 18-carat, so the gold content is the same, and the difference is color and alloy mix. Yellow gold is the traditional look, white gold is a cool silver tone created with other metals and finished to look neutral, and rose gold carries the copper-led warmth. Rolex's alloys are formulated in-house for each, and the practical differences come down to look and how each tone pairs with a dial and strap. For a side-by-side of all three, see our comparison of the best gold Rolex models.
| Gold | Look | Typical pairing | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everose (rose) | Warm pink, softer than yellow | Sundust, blue and white dials | A distinctive, less common gold |
| Yellow gold | Classic bright gold | Champagne, black and green dials | The most traditional look |
| White gold | Cool silver tone | Blue, grey and ice-toned dials | A low-key look that resembles steel |
How do you wear and care for a rose gold Rolex?
Treat it like any solid gold watch: gold is softer than steel and shows scratches, and a gentle wipe with a soft cloth and an occasional professional service keep it looking right. Rinse it with fresh water after salt water or sunscreen, and keep it away from harsh chemicals. Rolex states its servicing standards on its watch care and service page. Pink gold is flattering across skin tones, and the alloy is designed to hold its color rather than turning brown.
How much does a rose gold Rolex cost?
Solid rose gold Rolex watches sit in the five-figure range and up, well above steel models, with the exact figure depending on the reference, dial, bracelet and condition. Diamond-set bezels and rarer dials move the figure higher, and pre-owned examples price differently from new ones. We do not publish a fixed figure because a sourced unit is priced when we locate it, so request a quote for your specific reference.
