Are their WG watches also rhodium plated? I thought all European WG was an alloy and not plated?

I've owned several Cartier watches. Never owned a Tiffany. Cartier for design and aesthetics.

Pearls of wisdom.

Cartier is to Chanel as Tiffany is to Michael Kors.

Somewhat kidding of course. I respect Tiffany’s business model of bringing luxury to the American masses. It is also very successfully in making inroads in Asia.

But I have to give the nod to Cartier. They do a better job in creating that true luxury feel inside their stores than Tiffany does.

My wife has had the WG Love bracelet for at least 5 years and it’s still a perfect hue of WG. Are you certain that the bracelets are rhodium plated? I would say they are not based on what I have read and observed first hand.

They dont include rhodium in fact that is why their color is not as white as other white gold.

This is fake news. I dug up an email I had with Cartier corporate confirming no Rhodium playing on the Cartier white gold.
