It's the rose tint
To me one of the the little nuances that make the 1680/8 such a treasure is the mixture of the gold. When you compare one to a modern 18kt YG Sub or GMT, it is the softness of the gold color that stands out. Maybe it has a little "rose" mixed in? The vintage pieces are much less yellow, almost a soft pink gold.
