====== Palladium ====== **Palladium** is a precious metal. Already in [[2005]] [[Parmigiani]] Fleurier caused a sensation with a world premiere a watch made of palladium 950. This metal, which is as noble as [[platinum]] and still more noble than [[gold]] (with -950- palladium has a higher purity than gold -750-), had been largely a mystery for watchmakers, as they did not know how pure palladium could be processed. Palladium has all the qualities of a high quality metal It is light, does not oxidize in contact with oxygen and is [[antiallergic]]. Because palladium is naturally very white, no [[rhodium]] plating is needed to produce a perfect aesthetic. {{tag>Terms Watch_materials}}
