Were any early 5170g models ever produced with the old WG (not gray gold)?
I was wondering if it’s possible any of the 5170g models were made long ago enough to be made with the old style white gold
Just a personal opinion but I happen to really dislike Patek’s “new” white gold (gray gold). I say this as someone who owns a 5205g. I own an older generation 5146g that uses the “old” WG and you can’t tell the difference in color of that WG vs. my platinum models (5960p, 5170p). It’s just so much better

No…
The „old“ white gold is simply rhodium-plated (rhodinised?). The rhodium makes it shine line platinum. But it fades in time and after some wear looks buff… That‘s why Patek just polishes the white gold now (as most others)… The 5170G 1st gen was not rhodi...
