Rolex has several proprietary materials, and Everose gold is one of them. Everose gold, which is based on pink gold, is designed to be resistant to tarnishing, allowing you to enjoy its elegant color for a long time. Let's take a look at the current models that use Everose gold, along with the characteristics of the material.
What is Rolex Everose Gold?
What exactly is Everose gold, Rolex's proprietary material? We explain its characteristics as a material and how it affects the watch.
Proprietary pink gold alloy
Everose gold, introduced in 2005, is an 18ct pink gold alloy developed exclusively by Rolex, a material made from a combination of multiple metals.
Regular pink gold contains copper, which makes it prone to tarnishing. As you can see by holding a 10 yen coin, copper itself is a substance that easily tarnishes.
On the other hand, Everose Gold is made by blending gold, copper, palladium, indium, etc., which gives it a soft color with reduced redness and durability that is different from regular pink gold.
Characteristics of Everose Gold
Everose gold is an alloy made with a proprietary blend, making it more resistant to tarnishing than pink gold. If a watch is less likely to tarnishing, it will be easier to maintain its original shine for longer.
Another key point is that the color of the pink gold is softer. It has a stronger luster than regular pink gold, giving it a more elegant image.
As such, Everose gold not only has advantages as a material, but it is also a material that can be expected to elevate the impression of a watch.
