Rolex is known for its unique and innovative watches. Interestingly, some models are so popular that they are easily recognisable merely by their names. Although the watches may significantly vary, the brand produces a handful of bracelets types.
Rolex works meticulously to maintain the aesthetics, sturdiness and reliability of its bracelets. Like the watches, Rolex bracelets come with their exclusive design, names and histories.
However, the brand has indeed upgraded its bracelets over the years, adding some new designs. So, let’s take a look at the top four popular Rolex bracelets:
The Oyster bracelet is ideally the most popular and iconic Rolex bracelet. Although the bracelet design was patented first in 1947, Rolex released it the following year in 1948.
The three-piece link metal Oyster bracelet features broader centre links and two rows of slimmer links. While Rolex is continually improving the bracelet’s design, the very first Oyster bracelets appear pretty different from its modern version.
Moreover, Rolex makes the Oyster bracelet in platinum, steel, gold and two-tone steel and gold.
The classy five-piece link Jubilee bracelet made its debut in 1945 with the Rolex Datejust that was introduced to commemorate Rolex’s 40th anniversary. The bracelet features three rows of small centre links bounded by two more massive links rows.
The overall look of the bracelet has stayed significantly the same. However, the brand has made a few modifications of the links over the years. Today, the Rolex Jubilee bracelet is available in gold, bi-tone steel and gold and steel.
Rolex launched the President bracelet with the unveiling of the Day-Date in 1956. It is a three-piece link bracelet featuring semi-circular shaped links and a Crownclasp. While the centre links are broader, the external links in two rows are slimmer.
However, Rolex has fitted the President bracelet only to the Day-Date timepieces and also, some mid-size Datejust and Lady Datejust models. Today, the manufacturer produces the President bracelet in platinum, yellow, rose and white gold.

Interestingly, the Rolex President bracelet is indeed special because the entire watch collection was nicknamed after the bracelet, rather than being dubbed after the timepiece.
In 1922, Rolex released a brand new model known as the Pearlmaster. Like the earlier launches, the Pearlmaster also came equipped with an all-new bracelet style with a similar name.
The five-piece link metal bracelet is crafted of platinum or gold and often, fitted with precious gemstones, especially diamonds. However, besides the Pearlmaster collection, Rolex indeed produced some Day-Date ‘Masterpiece’ limited edition equipped with this bracelet.
Every Rolex bracelet in the catalogue has a significant part in Rolex’s history of development over the years. Although the brand has modified its bracelets with time, they remain yet much similar to its original design.
