	The 4467 was produced in 18K gold only. Two variants are documented: 18K yellow gold, which accounts for the overwhelming majority of surviving examples, and 18K pink or rose gold, substantially rarer. Collector estimates put the pink gold population at about twenty.		The 4467 was produced in 18K gold only.

	Rolex sold the first hundred 4467 watches by subscription through a Swiss newspaper. Buyers paid CHF 975 (roughly several months of skilled-worker income in 1945) and received a numbered piece with their assigned position between the lugs, 1 through 100. Custom engraving was offered: a coat of arms or the buyer's initials.		Rolex sold the first hundred 4467 watches by subscription through a Swiss newspaper.
