Rolex bracelets come with varying numbers of links depending on the model and bracelet type. Oyster bracelets typically feature 12 links plus an end link, though this can range between 11 and 15 links. Jubilee and President bracelets generally include 22 links, excluding the end links. For example, the Datejust model with an Oyster bracelet usually has 12 links plus an end link, while the same model with a Jubilee bracelet comes with 20 links plus 2 end links. It’s important to note that these numbers can vary based on the specific model and production year. Adjustments can be made by adding or removing links to achieve the optimal fit for the wearer.
