Yes, I was thinking Lange was probably doing the same until an AD told me otherwise yesterday. [nt]
No message body
definitely rose gold
warmer and makes the watch more elegant in my opinion. White gold is too cold for this watch.
The white gold version is rhodinated, not a true white gold like at Patek,
so it’s probably more practical to get the rose gold.
I would think it is to the contrary
Lange does not plate WG with rhodium, where Patek does
No, it’s called „or gris“ at Patek, i.e.
non-rhodinated „grey“ gold. Lange having rhodium-plated cases becomes apparent when you see a scratched Lange case.
A quick research on the internet revealed that Patek has ceased plating with rhodium ground 2007
I did not catch that info at the time. Thank you for the Info.
I tend tl say that AD is wrong
On Lange's website is no mentioning of rhodium plating. The website is quite detailed about refurbishing the cases: it is even mentioning the use of a rotating polisher out of wool.
For business: WG. For your own pleasure only:RG
Apart from that any model is a winner!
Which one suits your outfits better?
In my early collecting days, I bought both white metals (SS, WG & PT) and colored metals (YG & RG). Over time, I realized that I wore white metals much more, not because I didn't like the RG or YG, but mainly because they did not match my outfits ...
Love love love this watch
I would go for RG. The warmth of RG really brings out the retro/historic look of the 1815.
It is just an aesthetic choice... so it is very difficult to help you...
I prefer the WG version here. Fx
I will chip in
I had to make the same decision with my 1815 Up / Down, so perhaps I can help. I find the rose gold that A.L&S use particularly attractive, and I think it works really well with the 1815 line. So I was pretty sure I was going to get the rose gold, but the...
Thank you everyone !
Clearly contentious and lots of valuable comments. I mainly wear dark colour suits (blues and greys) so I can see WG matching my outfits but I am sure I will enjoy this no matter what colour I get !rp
