I have seen adverts for watches with Gold cases reinforced with metal. Is this the same as rolled gold cases or is their yet another process?

The ads may have been for something similar to Marsh's Movement Protector that was used on some Waltham watches. Tom McIntyre has a little bit about these on his website --
