About White Gold Watches
Gold has been mixed with nickel, zinc, and palladium since the early 19th century, however, white gold largely remained obscure until the 1920s. With platinum in short supply due to the demands of the military at the time, people began turning to gold, which was cheaper and equally as durable. White gold has the same value as yellow gold, providing they are being compared with the same carat weight. Carats are the only determinant of gold’s purity and, therefore, its ultimate worth.
The colour of white gold is achieved by mixing gold with other white metals. In fine watchmaking, that metal is often palladium, a close cousin of platinum. White gold is commonly mistaken for platinum, palladium, and silver. Platinum and palladium are rarer metals that are more valuable than gold, and silver wears out quicker, therefore white gold offers the best of both worlds.
Combining high-grade materials with a luxurious design is an art form that many a prestigious watch manufacturer has perfected, producing alluring timepieces for both men and women of all ages. Compared to traditional yellow gold or a vintage-inspired rose gold finish, white gold watches offer a cleaner and more refined look on the wrist that appeals to lovers of the more modern-looking wristwatch. White gold watches can range from simple two-handed models to three-handed date designs, sporty chronographs, sophisticated perpetual calendars, and day-date models.
