Seen only through binoculars. Gold and platinum were identical in price some time ago, but then an industrial use was found for platinum and they went their separate ways.

True, but that needs explanation. Platinum has been used in catalytic converters since the mid 1970's. More than 80 % of the worlds platinum supply is found in Africa. You tell me what happened in Africa to account for platinum's astronomical rise.
