Of gold and steel

Is it a result of the gold crisis or a genuine aesthetic choice? Combining steel and gold, warm and cool tones, the two-tone watch, a classic in the watchmaking repertoire, is ubiquitous.

1 Audemars Piguet

Total look

The 34 mm Royal Oak Automatic is reinvented in steel and rose gold. A two-tone aesthetic that extends onto the dial for added sophistication.

2 CARTIER

Neoclassical

Often associated with sports watches, the two-tone look also enhances very elegant pieces. The best example? The Santos, created in 1904, is back in the spotlight. To the delight of city dwellers.

3 Tudor

Blue period

An iconic model from the Swiss brand, recognizable by its integrated metal bracelet and characteristic bezel, the 28 mm diameter case of the Tudor Royal now features a bright blue dial for added character.

 

4 Rolex

Versatile

During the day, worn with jeans and a shirt, it's sporty chic. In the evening, paired with a sophisticated outfit, it transforms into an elegant piece of jewelry. The Lady-Datejust in Oystersteel and yellow gold adapts to all circumstances.

5 Omega

sport-chic

Launched in Kyoto last June, Omega's all-new Seamaster Aqua Terra 30 mm collection offers models in steel and 18K Moonshine gold or steel and Sedna gold.
