Gold plated bracelet - for how long?

[zidane55555]

Hi guys,
i'm new here, so i apologize if i sound too dumb.

I'm interested in buying a Patek Nautilus 5711, with gold bracelet and brown dial.
My question is: does the gold plated bracelet starts to lose the colour over time? if so, how much time till that happen?

Just one more thing: what's the best factory for this specific watch?

Thanks

Gold plating scares me as well. I'm avoiding watches with this. I'm sure they are fine, but they will wear down over time - whether it be a few months or a few years, depending on the quality and how rough you are with them.

I have a brand spanking new QF YG DD received minutes ago. I will eventually put Renaissance Wax on it. If it needs replating maybe I’ll look into that, maybe get a new bracelet, or maybe get a new watch

I'm avoiding them too lol , for that very reason , they probably will be ok but I don't like the idea that they might not be , must admit some watches look nice with the gold plating but I just can't bring myself to purchase , I think I'm going to do some more research.

It would be best to educate yourself on the subject. You'd be surprised at what you might learn.
