QUICK ANSWER
Gold alloy treated with iron to create a distinctive blue hue, used for decorative watch elements and luxury dials.

Blue Gold is a specialized precious metal alloy created by combining gold with iron and subjecting it to controlled heat treatment, which oxidizes the surface to produce a distinctive blue color. This rare material is used decoratively in luxury watches for dials, hands, and movement components, offering vibrant color while retaining gold's inherent value.
The blue color results from controlled heat oxidation of the gold-iron alloy surface. Precise temperature management during heat treatment creates a stable blue oxide layer. Unlike painted or coated surfaces, the color is intrinsic to the material itself, making it more durable and preserving the genuine gold substrate beneath.
Blue Gold is extremely rare and primarily used by ultra-high-end brands. Notable examples include certain Hublot and de Bethune creations. Its rarity, complex production process, and high material cost restrict its use to limited editions and prestigious complications, making any watch featuring Blue Gold particularly exclusive and collectible.
