    I dun think there is as Rolex dun adopt the same marketing tactic to PAM.
    OP uses this tactic to increase demand and manage supply whch proved really successful for them.

                        Yes, in the 50's & early 60's, Rolex produces gold plated models. In late 60's, 70's...onwards, Rolex uses solid gold. Hope these little info help.

                            There seem to be some differences between what Dark Angel and Paithorn have written. I have seen Paithorn's material codes on a couple of sites but the ones given by Dark Angel I have never come across for some of the materials on the codes such as code 1 & 2. Any guru can to explain?

                            Dark Angel's:
                            0- Chronometer in SS(Full)
                            1- Chronometer in SS and Pink Gold
                            2- Chronometer in SS and Platinum
                            3- Chronometer in SS and Yellow Gold
                            4- Chronometer in SS and White Gold Bezel
                            5- Chronometer in Pink Gold
                            6- Chornometer in Platinum
                            7- ??
                            8- Chronometer in Yellow Gold,and Tridor model
                            9- Chronometer in White Gold

                            Paithorn's:
                            0 solid steel
                            1 solid yellow gold
                            2 solid white gold or steel with platinum highlights
                            3 solid steel with yellow gold highlights
                            4 solid steel with white gold highlights
                            5 gold plated or 18k red gold
                            6 solid platinum
                            7 solid 14k yellow gold
                            8 solid 18k yellow gold
                            9 solid 18k yellow gold

                              First three digits (more on four digit later) denotes model for traditional Rolex models:

                              140 = Oyster Perpetual Air King and Submariner
                              142 = Oyster Perpetual Chronometer 34mm and Explorer
                              152 = Oyster Perpetual Date - Mens 34 mm
                              162 = Oyster Perpetual DateJust – Mens 36mm
                              165 = Explorer II
                              166 = Submariner – SeaDweller – Yachtmaster 40mm
                              167 = GMT Master II
                              189 = Oyster Perpetual Special Edition
                              165 Cosmograph Daytona
                              182 Oyster Perpetual Day-Date
                              183 Oyster Perpetual Day-Date Serti (With Diamonds)

                              The newer Rolex models have an extra 1 preceding the model number.

                              Daytona 1165, Day Dates 1182/1183... etc. Exceptions apply.

                              The next digit is the bezel code. Professional watches are excluded from this list.

                              0 = Smooth/Domed
                              1 = Engine Turned
                              2 = Engraved
                              3 = Fluted
                              4 = Bark
                              5 = Pyramid (No longer used)
                              6 = Turn-O-Graph
                              7 = Various
                              8 = Special
                              9 = Open

                              The next (final) digit is the metal code.

                              0 = Stainless Steel
                              1 = Yellow plated gold (Tudor)
                              2 = Stainless steel and Platinum
                              3 = Stainless Steel and 18k Yellow gold (Yellow Rolesor)
                              4 = Stainless Steel and 18k White gold (White Rolesor)
                              5 = Gold Shell (No Longer Used)
                              6 = Platinum
                              7 = 14k Yellow gold (No Longer Used)
                              8 = 18k Yellow gold
                              9 = 18k White gold
                              DD BIC = Bi-Color 18k Yellow and White gold combo
                              DD TRIDOR = 18k Yellow, White and Rose gold

                              try deciphering:

                              326135

                              116622

                              16200

                              1603

                              116688

                              326939
