I happen to love the patina...
It's a shame as the dealer most likely had it polished out. At auction patina'd gold watches sometimes go for a premium.
Goodbye my lovely 15202BA!
Hi AP Jumbo Lovers. Sharing a picture of my 15202 in yellow gold (which I bought in 2014) that has developed a lovely patina over the years. I started my watch collecting around 2012 with a IWC GST Titanium chronograph 3707, caught the titanium bug and ad...
It has copper and possibly silver mixed in...
Both oxidize. Only 24k gold will not oxidize unless you expose it to aqua regia, which you'll probably never come across in a normal watch-wearing setting.

Love the post...
I can understand not getting the opportunity to wear a gold watch often even though you love it. Congrats on seizing the opportunity to get a grail! Let's see some pics of the Patek!!
