Watches made of gold are not uncommon in the world of jewellery. The number of design options available in gold watches is perhaps just as much as regular watches these days. Of course, the most traditional one is yellow, but it is often thought of as rather odd-looking nowadays with anything other than vintage-inspired outfits. But then again you wouldn’t want anything else for vintage.
Rose is the more popular type of gold for modern timepieces.
Types of Gold watches
They say all that glitters is not gold. But not in case of watches though.. It is indeed possible to have a timepiece with a strong gold case, but it will also probably cost you more than say a vehicle. There are, however, other choices.
Physical vapour deposition : a process in which the material selected, whether gold, steel or coal, is vaporized and then placed on the watch’s base, melding two substances for a long-lasting finish.
Another option is gold plating, which involves merely adding a thin layer of gold over another metal. It may offer a real gold appearance, but it is more prone to ageing, scratches, and overall wear-and-tear.
The Best Gold Watches
Tudor Glamour Automatic :
When we think of Tudor, the first thing that comes to mind is classic sports watch much like the Black Bay or the Heritage Chrono. But the brand has always produced more extensive forms of watches and continues to do so. The adequately named Glamour is gold and steel made an automatic piece. This is an excellent example at 38 mm on how to wear gold without showboating your wrist.
Longines La Grande Classique :
As some watch brands are increasingly trying to dominate every corner of every industry with innovative designs, Longines clings to what it knows best: classic watches produced using typical watchmaking methods for classic dressers.
Seiko Gold Plated Stainless Steel :
During the Quartz Crisis, Seiko almost kneeled the traditional Swiss industry, and they still wouldn’t let Geneva catch a break. Since then, the Japanese label has become smarter, releasing more evening-appropriate timepieces combining the quality mechanics of the manufacturer with a remarkably sophisticated touch.
Armani Exchange Gold-Plated Watch :
Several labels boast the level of attraction of an Armani Exchange. We all understand this. It is loved by most of us, and that same prestige level translates into the label’s watch line-up, while still keeping it affordable. This quartz-powered offering for the baller on a budget is plated with gold and carries indulgent styling.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 15037 :
Today’s iteration of the Rolex Oyster looks distinct, but the original one will always remain beautiful for a hundred years or more with an all-gold palette and classic eighties detailing.
