A few things to consider

That may help you to decide
1) you will also have to purchase a new strap that works with the deployant.
Deployant straps are of a different length.
2) if you decide, one day to sell the watch , I doubt anyone will want the deployant as well in white gold.
3) even though no one may notice it’s white gold, you will know. It would nag at me.
In my humble opinion, I’d either get the plat deployant or stick as is. Halfway measures are never fully satisfying.
Sincerely

Nothing but Platinum

You have gone this far. Be true to the watch and true to yourself. If you must have a deployant clasp then do it right and buy it in platinum. I prefer the classic tang buckle on any leather-strap Patek, but that’s a different conversation.
Classic!

There is something about the traditional tang-buckle that just says “Classic” to me. The deployant buckles make me nervous. I had one on an Aquanaut many years ago that would (seemingly) open up on its own. My 3940 has a Tang buckle as well as my 3970, 15...
