The flat wide surfaces on mine show off the metal but also any fingerprints.

I don’t think there exists a more beautiful watch.

Rose gold on Patek is the best Variation

It's probably easier to get RG than SS hence you see more. As for color difference it's probably mostly due to 4N vs 5N. For Asian such as myself, I found RG to blend in more with my skin tone so it's much more subdued even compared to SS or WG.

But I'm going with WG nowadays mostly due to my wife's comment on WG > RG for me personally.

Not sure that it’s easier to get...

Maybe the 5712r but the 5711r came out in 2015 and the 5980 1R came out in 2013. Don’t think there is a ton of these being delivered relative to the ss

I heard from an AD in Vegas a year or so ago that it would be easier for him to get 5980r than the ss 5980 or 5990 for me. Of course we are talking Nautilus so both are limited and difficult nowadays. :)

Lol I got my 5980R from Vegas. I’m almost certain they only got 1 and I know both the dealers.

So I love both YG and RG. I have an olive complexion and think that the RG blends in more and Yellow pops more. One thing I'd say is that YG seems to be more versatile with a brown or black strap. Does anyone have a picture of their RG watch (with a white dial) with a black strap??

My calatrava 5117r is rose gold, white dial and black strap.
I can only upload this poor resolution 150x150 pic though, how do people manage to upload high resolution pictures?

I have the 126715 CHNR and I can confirm this. However, it does soften over time
