18K gold (75% pure) is the watchmaking standard — 24K is too soft.

🌟 GOLD TYPES

  • Yellow Gold: Gold + copper + silver. The classic
  • Rose/Pink Gold: Gold + copper. Warm, modern, very popular
  • White Gold: Gold + palladium. Often rhodium-plated

🔬 PROPRIETARY ALLOYS

  • Rolex "Everose": Fade-resistant rose gold with platinum
  • Omega "Sedna Gold": 18K rose gold with palladium and copper
  • Hublot "King Gold": Proprietary 5% platinum rose gold
