Looking at cost per Troy Oz in 1920, platinum was $100, gold only $20.67. Platinum was spiking $150+ in 1918-19.

That would make this version more affordable, if still opulent. Still looks like it’s at least 50% platinum!

18k white alloy is problematic for a wristie—has to be replated every 3-6 months on wedding bands, cuz it’s 75% yellow stuff. Did they do 18k white on anything? Too classy for me to own one!
