Hi and welcome to TRF.

The tri-colour gold Rolex was known as the TRIDOR Rolex. It is no longer in production...but I've given a link below which will give you some good information on it. The bracelet is made of pink, white and yellow gold....and the case is all solid white gold.

Cheers - JJ

Well the ladies Bi-Colour ref 68279 with the Tridor bracelet,and the gents ref 18039 with the Tridor president type with concealed clasp.Now the gents Tridor bracelet watch with the President with concealed clasp.Was around £1500 more more expensive than the same watch with just plain gold.Think it was the late 80s they was taken out of the catalogue,expensive to make and expensive to buy.

Can't say I like it. I don't go for diamonds on men's watches or even two tone - let alone three tone. I like DJ's and Presidents to be plain and elegant

But if it rocks your boat
