Patina on a yellow gold Lange
May 18, 2023,12:44 PM

This can be a good thing or a bad thing ... here is a watch I obtained from a friend who didn't want it -- he didn't like its thinness and patina. I just wiped it gently with a jeweler's cloth (they are infused with a gentle polishing compound) and it shi...
