16528 dials: gold vs. black?

Does anyone have an opinion on the "desirability"/rarity of a gold/champagne vs. a black dial on a 16528?

In particular, for "inverted 6" dials, which variant is more common?

Personally prefer black as the champagne dial gets lost in all the gold tone.

I believe there was an optional (and rare) blue dial on this reference that is exquisite, in photos anyway.
