In short, yes. 24k gold is as pure as gold can be, so you’re actually seeing the color and tone of pure gold. 14k gold is a gold alloy, so it’s mixed with other metals. Though the general coloring will still be gold, it won’t be the same hue as pure gold. That being said, 14k gold also has some benefits. It’s certainly more affordable and the mix of other metals makes it more durable, comparatively. 

A rose colored watch, or rose gold watch, is made with a mixture of gold and copper. The more gold in the mixture, the higher the karats of the rose gold. By combining these two materials, you get the signature rose coloring. If you’re looking for a slightly more subtle gold design, rose gold is always an excellent choice.

Gold watches tend to be some of the most valuable watches out there, especially if they’re 24k gold. Of course, this will vary based on the rarity of the watch, the brand, and other factors. Still, gold watches are a great choice in general, because they tend to hold their value very well. This is due to their inherent tie to gold being a valuable material that is typically considered a safe investment. Platinum watches can sometimes be more expensive, but gold watches are still among the most valuable timepieces you can own.
