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?

Agree with your dealer most people who want gold want it to look like gold

Evad3 · 8 December 2014, 10:10 AM

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

DJ TT 2002 · 8 December 2014, 10:13 AM

YG is my preference

HL65 · 8 December 2014, 10:33 AM

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.

Tom - I just love a diamond dial sub

sturgeon123456 · 8 December 2014, 11:41 AM

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

I agree with the above. Although, recently I have been drawn to YG. I think the YG seems more like a timeless piece and the RG more a fad(even though it is not)!
My 2 cents.

Im Lauf der Zeit · 8 December 2014, 11:54 AM

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

DKS2375 · 8 December 2014, 12:09 PM

I've always preferred WG.

Boom!

VICI · 8 December 2014, 01:06 PM

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.

gte217e · 8 December 2014, 01:12 PM

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.

Racerdj · 8 December 2014, 01:15 PM

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

thomaspp · 8 December 2014, 01:19 PM

As Mike would say "who cares as long as it's gold!"

regnant · 8 December 2014, 11:30 PM

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

lapince · 8 December 2014, 11:53 PM

I don't like yellow gold very much, like white but I prefer RG the most, IMO it looks really great

rollerball · 9 December 2014, 02:05 AM

I would choose the color that matches my wedding band.

REDiesel · 9 December 2014, 02:08 AM

RG, YG, WG, Pt . . . I like them all.

Ive had 2 yellow gold dd's. When I see that dd 2 with the black roman face it calls out to me!!!!

I see one in my future.

submariner123 · 9 December 2014, 05:58 AM

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.
