Variations on one theme: The Traditionnelle on the left is in white gold, and the one on the right is platinum. The movement is the Vacheron Constantin caliber 4400, with Geneva Hallmark: I like them both. If you get to see them in person, the frosting/po...

Just because I've always been impartial to white dials and think they look better and more legible. Between these two, I think the white dial justifies my personal presumptions

Platinum for me! [nt]

Wallet says white gold. If it were the "only" watch as the question was posed, PT would get the nod.

I think you know my answer, Bill

Unfortunately not on my wrist, not even in this photo. :-( I love the combination of Vacheron Constantin and gray dial -- can't be beat. Best, respo ...  

I've seen and handled both in the flesh at an AD

If money is no object, the grey one. It's sublime in the flesh. Regards, Ian

it is not as much the metal as the dial. I like the grey dial much better. I think it looks better with the white metal. I have never actually seen or held a platinum watch. Is is much different in feel and look to white gold to the eye vs. pictures. I ca... 

I like the white gold version more

I have the WG, wouldd go for PT if money no issue.

Today I say platinum, Tomorrow I might just say white gold.

PT over G for me
