Rose gold vs YG vs wg
I would have guessed 20/30/50 percent in that order. A recent dealer said YG 70/ rg 20 And WG 10. Maybe it depends on the region? Thoughts?

For me personally I prefer in this order: WG, RG, YG
But like Tom said, some people want their expensive gold watch to look like an expensive gold watch whilst of course they could simply prefer the colours |

Interesting as for many top luxury watch brands RG dominates and by a landslide and YG lags big time. I am speaking about Patek, Lange, RM, AP etc.
* Especially when you also factor in Asian demand.

RG/YG/WG for me....and to be honest I would not purchase white gold, I prefer the yellow or rose color.

The 70/20/10 ratio sounds about right... I've come around to finding Platinum more interesting than all the gold alloys anyway.

Rose gold vs YG vs wg
Depends on the piece... Rolex makes a fantastic RG. The AP finish is phenomenal.
For me, YG, RG. If I want white, I go platinum. |

I love WG because only the wearer really knows what's going on there.
However, RG seems to be the way to go and YG being the safer and more traditional bet. I see a lot of RG on wrists than YG; that's for sure. |

My guess and observation is YG 50%, WG 25& and RG 25%

YG has an edge against RG for me but there is an exception for SKY DWELLER model line up.

I prefer the look of rose gold to yellow gold. If I was to buy a new Patek Calatrava 5227 though I would buy in white gold. Shame it is 39mm though.
