English term or phrase: power tie
"With that in mind, I forced my lips into a smile and approached the first guy who beckoned me toward his table—a forty-something business type with cropped brown hair and a gold-colored power tie."

Segundo este artigo na "Psychology Today", o vermelho geralmente é associado ao poder, sendo uma das cores da bandeira dos EUA. Foi feito uma pesquisa em que ficou demonstrado que "power tie" não tem nada a ver com a cor vermelha. O artigo ironiza em seu título: "Power ties" are actually powerless: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/attraction-evolved/2016...

Enfim, como traduzir "power tie" para PT-Br? Obrigado.

uma poderosa gravata dourada
Explanation:
Usaria o óbvio mesmo, só tomando o cuidado de antecipar o adjetivo (poderosa gravata).

Acho que cai bem na frase:
...a gold-colored power tie
...uma poderosa gravata dourada

É comum dizer "um poderoso terno", então não teria receio em dizer "uma poderosa gravata"...

uma gravata de patrão


Explanation:
Patrão no sentido de classe social, não do patrão do bar.
Ou "à patrão", como se diz por aqui de vez em quando.
