Just out of curiosity, why is it some patek platinum watches have a diamond on the case at the 6 o'clock position whereas some don't? I was speaking with a dealer today who thought all PP Platinums have a diamond but I know that is not the case with the 5...

I think the diamod is purely to help potential new owners of pre-loved (or hated) platinum watches know it is platinum! I remembered i heard somewhere that many watches. vintage (1920s~1990s) are being passed off as platinum even though it is white gold. ...

but if you hold the wg in your hand, without having felt the platinum, how would u know which is which? 19.3 v 21.4g/cm3 sems too close a call without having both metals in front to diffrentiate. i am sure if given a piece of metal with no indiction wg or...
