The History of the Rolex Jubilee Bracelet

The Rolex Jubilee bracelet was released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Rolex, way back in 1945.  The Jubilee has lasted nearly unchanged since its initial release other than the clasp, with some minor improvements made along the way.

Initially the Jubilee was released in solid gold only.  However, in the 1950's with the release of the President bracelet, the Jubilee was finally released with two-tone and steel versions of the band.

The Jubilee was initially designed for the Rolex Datejust. However it is also found on other models today including the Rolex GMT Master II.  There is even a lady's Jubilee Bracelet which is thinner in width.

The Jubilee's 5 links give a 3 dimensional look which adds significant interest and beauty to the timepiece.  The above timepiece is an amazing combination of both Oystersteel and white gold and it would be difficult to tell the difference between them since both metals look similar to the casual observer.  The Oystersteel Jubilee Bracelet gives the timepiece incredible strength to withstand most daily pounding, while providing great comfort on the wrist.

The Jubilee bracelet has a folding Oysterclasp with Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link, a fairly new enhancement added to the 70+ year old grandaddy of Rolex bracelets. 

This shows the Rolex Jubilee Bracelet with a hidden folding clasp.  You can only see the Jubilee bracelet links when wearing the timepiece, creating a visual uniformity.  

In this photo you can see the Rolex Jubilee with a standard Rolex Clasp.
