The Alloy
Yellow gold watch cases are usually made of 18 carat gold, i.e. 750 parts of fine gold per thousand, supplemented by silver and copper in roughly equal proportions. Pure gold would be too soft for a case. The hallmark 750 or 18K is usually found between the lugs or on the caseback.
What to Bear in Mind in Everyday Use
Gold is softer than stainless steel and picks up fine signs of wear more quickly, especially on polished surfaces. These can be removed during refurbishment. You should avoid contact with chlorinated water and aggressive cleaning agents, as the additional metals in the alloy react sensitively to them.
