As far as I know it is not any more common in French than in English. 
Indeed it has this meaning of "greatest" or "best", for example golden 
ratio in English translates as "le nombre d'or" (golden number) in French.

There might be cases that differ between both languages. For instance we 
have "un livre d'or", wich translates as "a guestbook" in English. I'm 
sure the reverse also exists...
