Gaff was at the apartment. Afterwards he was at the rooftop handing Deckard over his gun and saying his "too bad she won't live" words. Then Deckard hurries to his apartment, Rachael is still alive and there is the Origami. I think the whole timing of the events would be really off, if that was supposed to be a threat:
"I've found your girlfriend and risked my job by not retireing her. It's too bad, she doesn't have a longer lifespan, though. Oh, and btw, here, have your gun back. Take that as a threat!"
Weird. I know that this green eye problem is still often regarded as an error in Blade Runner (original movie). It is also listed as mistake on that other movie site aswell. Yet I've just played around with some photos of brown eye close ups and compared them to the frame ... and you may be right.
So perhaps Deckard is just messing with Wallace. Since Wallace can't be certain about the eyes and Deckard is the only eye witness (pun intended), Deckard puts Wallaces self-belief in question. That would be a very bold tit-for-tat response to putting Deckards humanity/love in question.
She was adding her own memories to replicants in order for them to find her father and bring him to her. If she told K it was an implant (no matter from whom), he did not have any reason to follow these memories, which were leading to Deckard. He would however have a reason to investigate (after all he is with the cops) who illegally implanted these memories.
Also Wallaces Replicants obey their owner, so she couldn't trust him with the truth directly. He had to figure it out alone. Although she didn't know it: Don't forget that Wallace was still somehow monitoring K, since Luv was able to find him in Vegas.
It does what you say.
It also explores the character of Gaff a little bit further, since he clearly was at Deckards apartment, but ultimately let Rachael live. Even though Rachael was illegal (and due for retirement), he probably realized she is no hazard after all.
In the end it is also a hidden message to Deckard, that Gaff is either not coming after them or at least giving them some extra time to flee.
Sean Young's eyes are brown, but Rachael's eyes are green.
...at least sort of...
It is actually a mistake in the original Blade Runner, since in her Voight Kampf test (which is also shown in BR2049) you can clearly see a green eye.
The funny thing is, that this scene is a double reference to the first movie. It doesn't only reference the mistake, but it also works great with the fact, that [spoiler]Wallace had the genetic code from the bones and hair to recreate Rachael, but wasn't aware that Tyrell hired a subcontractor for eyes. These probably couldn't be replicated from the same code.
Chew just made the best eyes![/spoiler]
