Best White Gold Rolex Watches

White gold is one of the most interesting Rolex watch materials, because it is often not visibly distinguishable from stainless steel, yet costs significantly more. This raises some key questions: Why do some buyers prefer the more expensive white gold option, and what are the advantages of choosing white gold over stainless steel?

Firstly, it is notable that white gold is both heavier and more resistant to corrosion than stainless steel. In addition, it is a more valuable material, providing a clearer sense of luxury, while retaining a more understated appearance than either yellow or rose gold. With that being said, white gold is also less scratch resistant than steel.

Best Steel & Yellow Gold Two-Tone Rolex Watches

The decision of whether to purchase a steel or gold Rolex watch is one which many buyers struggle with. Steel has a classic, understated and sophisticated appeal, is more affordable and retains its value better after purchase, whereas gold is more expensive, conveys a stronger sense of luxury, but loses more of its value after purchase.

Of course, there is an alternative, in the form of the various two-tone steel and gold models that Rolex makes. In particular, the combination of steel and yellow gold serves as an ideal middle ground, offering affordability and status, and managing to blend the extravagance of yellow gold with the classic appeal of steel.
