Breguet Tourbillon Messidor 5335 Rose Gold.
I posted a couple of months ago some pictures of the Tourbillon Messidor in white gold,
I just could see the rose gold version in Paris.
The white gold is my favorite, I love its " monochromatic " look, with only a few shaded of pink for the contrast. But I cannot deny a lot of charm to the rose gold version, which is very warm, and, at the same time, which gives to the watch a delicious retro look.
Which is your favorite, here?
Best,
Nicolas

I would like to see the white gold (or better yet platinum) with yellow gold for contrast...
...I don't normally go for difficult to read dials, but I would make an exception here : )
Usually I prefer white metal, but in this case I would actually go for the rose gold.
Gives some warmth as contrast to the movement. But both are beautiful!
Hmm...
I thought my favorite was the rose gold. But seeing your photo of the white gold with a rose gold tourbillon cage... I'm actually more moved by the white gold example oddly. Both beautiful watches.
What a display of finishing mastery!
I am partial to the white gold as I prefer white metals, but the rose gold is good too, what a grail!
This watch has everything I hate... A dial side tourbillion, a tourbillion, a skeletonized movement...
But in spite of all of that, I love this watch. The heart wants what the heart wants, I suppose, and only Breguet could pull off a watch like this. For me, the rose gold would be my choice. Go all out at this point I say!
I tend to gravitate towards simple, time only dials. Very few complicated dials are compelling to me, but this one is an exception. And I normally opt for white metals, but for something so traditional and exquisite, I would choose rose or yellow gold.
I saw this Breguet tourbillion at the Geneva airport last spring and I was mesmerized. I think I prefer the beauty and legibility of the guilloche rather than the skeleton. But the level of detail and workmanship that Breguet puts into these little jewels...
A sublime tourbillon from Breguet.
For this watch and its particular style I would go with the rose gold version. Best, Gerard
