Rolex colours …

 

Thanks Nicolas,

 

I have been describing the patina as buttery yellow, but I like your turn of phrase, “burnt vanilla”, very much.

 

Whatever it is, it’s a brilliant contrast with the matt dark grey dial and the white lettering. I did think about getting a gilt-dialled 5513, but despite its greater rarity (and price) I like the contrast with the white lettering and am very happy with my decision.

 

Too much gold can’t be good for anyone!

 

I have posted some more images on the Rolex Forum to give you a better idea of the colour – it does change depending on the ambient light .
