Do you mean on a datejust? It’s not white gold, but do you know about the ref. 116238?

I am curious why Rolex wouldn't make a WG Jubilee band at all. What reason could they have not to do it?

Probably the potential confusion w/stainless. Rolex is very careful to avoid this. DD no longer available with an Oyster bracelet, and President bracelet doesn't come in steel. Smaller model WG watches are the same - President-only. YG/RG doesn't matter, since you can tell from the metal itself (ever notice that on the PM DJ31, WG is only offered w/diamond bezel, while YG/RG are offered w/that or fluted?).

Only places where there's any overlap is the Professional line, where the steel/WG Daytonas and GMTs both come with PCL Oyster.

Would 18k be a good material to construct a Jubilee?

Because it's too expensive to make on Saturn?

I'm not a Jubilee fan as I don't like the stretch aspect and feel they look busy. If it were a fully pm Jubilee it would need to have ceramic sleaves on the small and large link portions which could be replaceable. I know they have a lot of experience with TT Jubilees however. Not certain about the ceramic sleave aspect, however.

Maybe because "WG" looks just like steel?

Yeah, but the feel of it, and the weight of it, makes you think that you are the pimp.
