why do some places call it Rose gold 44mm and other pink gold 4mm - ROO

[robbonds]

AP website says pink gold but all the "for sales" say rose gold..what gives?

44mm ROO

18K Red gold: 75% gold, 25% copper

18K Rose gold: 75% gold, 22.25% copper, 2.75% silver

18K Pink gold: 75% gold, 20% copper, 5% silver


If the AP website says pink, I would trust it.

Maybe because of the discolouration issues with the rose gold?

I truly thought they were all inter-changeable names for anything other than yellow gold! (Well, and not of course white gold either!)
But I've heard APs referred to by all terms, and almost equally: Red, Pink, Rose.
Surely they don't make THREE versions of the 44 gold?! For instance, a Red, Pink, and Rose one. That would be ridiculous.
This is strange! Off to do some pondering and researching.

AP call it pink but most generally refer to it and other brands versions as RG.

Rose Gold is a generic term referring to all rose-gold coloured watches. Pink Gold is a more specific description.

I’d say the majority of people are ignorant of the gold's composition and therefore the terms are all used interchangeably, except when it comes to Rolex, when only Rolesor will do.

These are the formal compositions for these alloys. Of course, most people use these terms interchangeably since it's pretty easy to think that they are all the same. But they aren't.

My guess would be that if AP calls their watches "pink gold" then I would hope that they know the difference between red, rose, and pink, and would use the proper term.

Perhaps someone here has connections within AP that can clarify this for us.

Good stuff. Models like the RG RC scans well so it becomes an easy term to use.
