Can yellow gold be rhodium plated?
Yellow gold can be plated with rhodium, but it's not a good idea. Here's why:Rhodium plating is usually done over white gold. This is because as the thin layer of rhodium wears away, the difference between the shiny white rhodium plate and the underlying white gold is pretty hard to see, so the white gold item won't have to be replated too frequently. Also, only a very thin layer of rhodium is necessary to cover white gold.That brings us to why plating yellow gold is problematic. Rhodium costs ten times as much as gold. Since a much thicker layer of rhodium is needed to cover yellow gold than white gold, and because the yellow gold will really show when the rhodium wears away, yellow gold will need frequent and expensive replating.If you decide to plate any gold item, make sure you go to a reputable jeweler or the results will be very poor.

Rhodium is one of the most precious metals in the world, recently selling at approximately 10 thousand dollars per ounce. Although prices fluctuate, a rule of thumb is that rhodium tends to be 10x as expensive as gold. But the rhodium is probably very thin. If the watch is rather old, the rhodium is probably a bit thicker than if it is new, but rhodium is so stressed that the plating cannot be really thick. The watch is probably worth more than the rhodium plating on it is worth.
