·Do I not detect the 18 stamp inside the case back? This would indicate solid 18 karat, not 24 karat. Anyway, nice watch.

·Even if it wasn’t marked it’s extremely rare to find anything made from pure gold as it’s quite soft. Maybe 22k is used occasionally, but 18k is definitely the default choice for a top quality “solid gold” case.

FIFY 😉
Beautiful watch, I like the regulator too, much better than the simple lever type.

Exactly right.
Lovely family heirloom BTW.
