The reddish tone of the gold comes from copper. This fine gold is soft and corrosion-resistant and produces a precious metal that is high-grade, exquisite and highly popular in watchmaking. The colour nuances, depending on the copper content, range from soft rose to powerful dark red. At Lange, pink gold is used with 205 parts copper to 45 parts silver. This makes for a purity of 18 carats (750 ppt).
Case materials
Pink-gold watches
Copper imparts gold with a reddish hue and transforms pure gold into a metal alloy that is very popular for watch cases.
Platinum watches
Platinum means “little silver”, but the material is more precious than gold. It is eminently suited for crafting jewellery and for watchmaking.
Honeygold watches
Significantly harder than other gold alloys and with a unique warm hue, honey gold (HONEYGOLD®) is an 18-carat gold, exclusively reserved for our manufacture. To date, it has been used in 12 models. The name is an analogy with nature, describing the warm, glowing hue, resulting from the special ratio of pure gold, copper and zinc proportions.
