Gold all the way!

I am a proponent of sports watches being in SS although have a few white metal PM models in which to compliment a fairly stellar collection.
In the high end market of AP and PP I’d normally take SS over PM indeed only have eyes for SS for the Royal Oak which I own, incidentally I also own a Patek 5990. That said I have tried both 5711s and the RG version is quite possibly the most stunning watch I have ever had on my wrist.
The break through in marketing SS as uber luxury lies solely with AP and their Royal Oak, Patek followed but did not define the market change in the same way it’s Swiss cousin. That said I am somewhat mystified as to why SS Sports are in today’s market so popular over say their PM brethren. If push comes to shove a Royal Oak and some derivative of a Rolex Submariner should tick the must have SS itch, everything else is open season IMO though I agree that ROse or Yellow golds are far less versatile.

I like the rose gold version. I has it’s own style that you need to be able to carry off. The steel version is far less challenging.

I agree with you that each has its own merits. Then there are the rare platinum models, including the uber rare ones with gem bezels. Best, Patekova

Fantastic looking watch. I thought it was not as conservative as I like in watches and I prefer white metals for that reason. I also think it suits better skin tones better..a good tan and this watch is a wonderful contrast. I am being dream towards this ...
For me....

The RG as a dress watch would be stunning to see.
Thank you for the compliment!

The rose gold case and brown dial which is gradated in color are for me a pretty spectacular combination. Patek definitely got it right.
