How to Describe Things With Colors
The most important thing you'll learn today is - 색 (color). This particle can be dropped when describing a noun, but it can also stay. Either way is correct.
Examples:
빨간 사과 / 빨간색 사과 = red apple
파란 집 / 파란색 집 = blue house
분홍 꽃 / 분홍색 꽃 = pink flowers
하얀 티셔츠 / 하얀색 티셔츠 = white shirt
Dialogue Example:
가: 이 검은색 원피스를 어때요?
A: What do you think about this blue dress? / How about this blue dress?
나: 정말 예쁘다! 잘 어울리네요.
A: This is really pretty! It matches well.
*Removing 색 only works for certain colors when modifying nouns, including:
빨간색
노란색
녹색
검은색
파란색
하얀색
For any colors other than these, just attach it before a noun: 분홍색 = Pink
분홍색 셔츠 = pink shirt
Same goes for colors that end with -빛

In 2007, Patek Philippe made their first unique Nautilus for Only Watch, a titanium ref. 5712T. As the first known titanium Nautilus, this watch was the star of the link auction with top collectors vying to own this piece. Keep in mind this was years before the recent link Nautilus mania, and today this watch would easily be link valued in the millions.
The King Diver link features a 43mm compressor-style case with a design seemingly borrowed from EPSA-cased divers of the '60s and '70s. link You won't find the typical cross-hatching on the crowns at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock, however. Instead, the crown is signed with the "O" from Orient. link Every millimeter of its 43mm case size is noticeable on the wrist. It's not small, but the original watch was sized similarly at 42mm.
