Another good comparison pic of SS vs WG

Makes me wish Patek offered the 5980 in solid WG.

Excellent comparison picture. I also feel that people needs to hold white gold to truly appreciate it.

Nice watches no matter the metal! As much as I like gold, I am happy PP offered the 59601a in steel!

Patek Rhodium plates their white gold. Wouldn't look like Rolexes white gold....which looks like white gold that needs rhodium plating.

Iirc PP no longer plates except maybe the jeweled models. In fact, PP's website offers polishing for both played and unplanted WG.
