Are there any green-gold watches?

I recently learned that it’s possible to create a green gold alloy, but I can’t seem to find any examples of watches that have been made with green gold. anybody know of any?

Sure looks great to me, personally I’d love to see it paired with SS rather than YG or RG

I have seen it used on very old mens dress watches. I never cared for the look. I want to think I had read somewhere that it’s not to safe to wear green gold.

wasn't the green 'hulk' submariner marketed as having a 'green gold' dial? think they stopped marketing as such due to lack of proper hallmarks on the dial.

I think this was mostly in reference to the usage of gold flakes/powder within the dial itself (don't quote me on this)? I could definitely see them running into the issue you described since it wasn't truly a gold dial.
