I once wore what were then 30 year old four digit OPs, whilst swimming hundreds of km in highly dosed public pools, and in ocean pools, and on the odd occasion in the surf. There was no issue.

A full gold watch should be basically immune to corrosion. Gold treasure sits at the bottom of the ocean for hundreds of years with zero corrosion.

TT may, or may not be different. The 904-L SS in our watches is protected normally by its natural ceramic coating, however, friction, and or the proximity of gold in salt water, may or may not create a corrosion potential.

I do however strongly suggest that you always wash your watches in fresh clean water after any swimming, and, that you do not wear your watches in hot showers.
