The combination of gold and steel on a Rolex watch is something that has existed from Rolex for a long time.

Rolex uses reference numbers to make it easier to reference a specific watch model or part.
When you have as many models and bracelets as Rolex, having a numeric way to organize and reference them is crucial.
If you are unfamiliar with the Rolex reference numbers for the watches, we recommend that you read our Rolex reference number guide.
Many of Rolex’s models are manufactured for years and years under the same reference, with no real visible change. This is mostly true to Rolex’s modern watches, as many of Rolex’s vintage watches have received notable updates during the course of its production without changing the reference number. Take, for example, the Submariner 14060 which changed from tritium to Luminova, to Superluminova, to having an engraved rehaut, to having both two and four lines of text. That is a lot of changes to a watch that kept the same reference number…
But many of Rolex’s watches receive updates and changes so small that they are barely visible to the untrained individual. And certainly too small for Rolex to update the reference number.

But the fact is that the watch industry, or Rolex, has not used sapphire crystals forever. In fact, for the majority of the time watches have been manufactured, they have used other materials than sapphire crystal.

Most watches are today manufactured in stainless steel. It is the go-to material for most manufacturers for several reasons. Steel is cheap, it is easy to work with, and it is strong and durable.
Every day, your watch comes in contact with sweat and moisture from your wrist, and occasionally perhaps also water if you go swimming with it. If you look at some older Rolex watches, a common issue with these is that the steel has started to corrode on the inside of the case on certain parts.
