In truth, i am not a yellow gold guy. Nor rose gold. I have one or two in my collection, but the majority is white metal - mainly steel. Having said that, th one or two yellow and rose gold watches in my collection really do add something different. The 2...
I also hate wearing the suit. The first 25 years of my career, it was a must on daily basis. Nowadays I wear suit only when travelling or if I have some serious business meetings with people I do not know well. So perhaps a Patek made of coloured gold has...
.......a more complicated beast. The 2509 is all about simplicity. I would not say no to a 3940R though!! For me, finding that perfect balance between a yellow/rose gold watch and its formality is the trick. Count de Monet hits it on the head well with th...
.....i have had all metals in 3940 on my wrist. My favourite is the P.....the early first edition P. Then the `R. 3940 overall is a superb reference. But like i said, its a different animal to the 2509.....apples and pears on those two. 3940 would be on m...
I 'm quite a white metal guy as it allows to wear them everywhere as an everyday wearer. But the hue of rose gold is quite unique, warm and brings something exceptional to the watch. I was still thinking not long ago that yellow gold was out of fashion an...
......thee is no question that when i see someone wearing a coloured gold watch, it brings a certain formality with it. 9 times out of 10, the person is wearing a suit. If I see a vintage yellow gold watch on someone and they are not wearing a suit, 9 tim...
In fact my positive experiences are the 3970J I saw from CH9698 pictures and the Richard Lange YG from Andreas (donizetti) or Horo with his blue strap. They are just starting to make my opinion change... It will indeed take a little time. Cheers, Mark
In fact in my early 40s; but I find YG to work best with vintage watches, I have never worn this VC with a suit and I don't think I will ever. I wore it last while food shopping on the weekend. Funny, I also own a PP5396G - awesome watch. Enjoy you new wa...
I had the pleasure of trying a 2509 in yellow gold just a few days ago. Never seen it in the flesh and being someone who prefers white metals generally, I found this piece outstanding! He also let me try his 2508 which was just as amazing. On paper the di...
and I fall in love for this YG vintage 1955 VC watch, I could wear in any occasion. My ONLY one vintage watch, but awasome creation of 1950's style. Cheers, Patrickh ...
But before I go into that : your watch is sublime. I really like it very much. This is for me class. Elegance. understatement. Classic timeless piece. I would wear this only with a suit on and tie which is mandatory. I can already picture it with a grey s...
Hi Baron, Yellow gold has an inner heat that I don't find in the other metals. Rose gold is warm and romantic. The white metals sharp, casual yet sophisticated. Yellow gold is like sitting close to a dancing fireplace on a cold night - it's mischievous, a...
