GOLD STANDARD
NOTHING MAKES A STATEMENT ON THE WRIST QUITE LIKE A GOLD WATCH
OF ALL THE WATCHES YOU’LL OWN IN YOUR LIFE,
a few will stand out as more precious than the rest. Sometimes it’s by merit of the memories associated with them, and sometimes it’s down to the finesse of the movement inside. More often than not, however, it’s because of a case made from the world’s favourite precious metal: gold. As the go-to material for high-end watch cases for hundreds of years, gold has easily held on to its place at the top of the watch hierarchy, even in the age of seven-figure sports watches made from steel and carbon fibre. From classic gold dress watches to sporty diamond-set chronographs, here are a few that are sure to stand the test of time.
