I also have this watch... the rose gold is throughout on mine albeit not polished on the inside of the clasp where the strap connects to it so begs the question... where you get it from and do you have paperwork?

I got it from a friend of mine, i do not have any paperwork but i am able to verify the serial number. Maybe he got an aftermarket clasp.

When you say not coloured do you mean not polished/glossy? Your whole clasp looks the same colour to me?

Edit - yours looks the same as this on my monitor
