Apple quietly discontinued its gold Apple Watch Edition models today. The company's luxurious smartwatch models started at $10,000 and ran all the way up to $17,000.

It's unclear why Apple discontinued the gold models; however, it's likely because the devices weren't selling as well as hoped.

Notably, the company did unveil a new Apple Watch Edition model alongside the Apple Watch Series 2. The single new model is white ceramic and it costs $1249 (38mm) and $1299 (42mm). It's now the only Apple Watch Edition model available.

Or maybe they notice that all the watches internals are digitally the same and could always be updated in software or from its the casing that has the gold touch which nothing more than people smarting up. Look at Hermes what a rip off its the same watch only has a marking that says Hermes are you willing to pay $500 more for a marking that you will have to take the watch of your hands just to see a name brand? Unlike the Rolex at least the rollex has Ila reputation from so far down the road and talk about quality out of the box. Today in this digital era it's very easy to replicate the faces and bands for the apple watch at lower prices not there's even a kit that will give your Apple watch the good edition look.

Hey Chip... Try using spell check before posting. Your "response" or thoughts on the matter are incomprehensible. Go kill yourself

If the rolex is a older model, they will say they can not fix them. Or they to valuble and they refuse.

Gold was limited in the devices , they were overpriced to begin with. The overall cost to produce those watches , including overhead, labor , etc. is key. They seem to cost far more then they did to produce. Rolex watches do have gold . However certain models are highly collectible to watch collecters. Because of the limited quantities on some models, and the actual condition of the watch. The fact they are very complex to fix and they refuse to fix them. However they are still able to be fixed some times.
