Types of Rolex gold
Hi All?, can you tell me if there are different kinds of yellow gold used? Some gold look really really yellow, somewhere very very pale, and everything in between. I know through the years they’ve used both 14 and 18 karat, but I don’t think that would make this big of a difference like in the photo. Is it just lighting make a difference? Or are they really this wide arrange of shades of yellow gold? Thanks! |

I believe their gold mixture has changed some over the years, but I think what your noticing in the picture isn't so much the lighting but rather the difference in patina.

Had a old 18038 that was dark yellow. After a good cleanup, it was a few shades lighter.

Also, both those (and all gold DDs) are 18K, no 14Ks.

I think gold mixture has change. Wasn’t there a discussion a few weeks ago about this with some pics to prove it?
