"Let me explain by giving you the primary reasons why collectors might be so tempted to fit this several millenia old, non-precious material into their collections. For one, bronze looks very cool in person and complements military and-or diving watches perfectly with its uneven finish and rugged, nautical aesthetics. Two, bronze, thanks to its special characteristics, develops a completely unique patina over the years. This aged look is unique to each case as its color and the extent to which it affects different parts of the case will depend on where, under what circumstances and for how long the watch has been worn."

I would agree with Patina as per THIS World Tempus article or THIS ONE.
Patina certainly gets recurring mentions in articles.

I suspect that when they say "papillonnage" they actually mean Paillonnage and the extra p is a misprint.
