It looks like it is in yellow gold but
it is actually in rose gold! I actually took the watch to the Patek factory during a visit and the department that made cases immediately confirmed that it was in rose gold, something not even experts could tell.

Thanks Sam for your kind words ! Your large collection inspired (perhaps poisoned) me to
work harder so that I can get more pieces ! 🤣
Great limited edition. Great pics.
Compared to the original 5053, the applied blackened white hold numerals really pop. If they erased the date window, this would be a grail watch for me. That aside, I like that they moved it from the 6 to the 3 position.
