all that glitters
Steel sports watches have dominated wrist wear trends for the past few years, relegating gold watches to the background, or saved for special occasions. Well, the classic gold watch is making a comeback, and it’s better and more robust than ever. From sports watches and dress watches to ladies day-to-evening pieces, the warm, noble metal is showing up on all the most stylish wrists this season.
THE CLASSIC GOLD WATCH MAKES A DRAMATIC STATEMENT
ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DAY-DATE A true classic never goes out of style. The yellow gold Day-Date, first introduced in 1956, has become legendary over the years. It is instantly recognizable for its iconic fluted bezel, President’s bracelet, and cyclops lens over the date window. This 36mm model in 18k yellow gold contains the Rolex-made caliber 3255, a state-of- the-art movement with 14 patents and a precision rating of -2/+2 per day.
Alloys make gold harder and more scratch resistant than ever. Here are some of two favorite new gold watches.
ROLEX LADY-DATEJUST This 28 mm Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust in 18k yellow gold features a white mother-of-pearl, diamond-set dial and a President bracelet.
