Watchmakers are always looking for unexpected combinations to captivate fans, and Rolex delivers with this Day-Date 36. The timepiece reintroduces the striking blue-green dial first unveiled on the Sky-Dweller in 2023, pairing it with a bezel set with 60 trapeze-cut diamonds, all encased in 18k Everose gold. Notably, such a bezel was previously exclusive to the Day-Date 36 in 950 platinum and the Day-Date 40 in gold or 950 platinum. Collectors, take note.

BREGUET CLASSIQUE TOURBILLON 3358
The latest addition to Breguet’s Classique collection pairs the brand’s signature complication with a cascade of diamonds and a sky-blue leather strap, creating a dazzling yet ethereal accessory. Time is displayed on an off-centred dial featuring black Breguet numerals on a natural mother-of-pearl ring that frames a snow-set diamond circle. Radiating from the sides of the tourbillon are arcs of diamonds, with even the curved gold tourbillon bridge adorned with more gemstones. The reverse is equally breathtaking, showcasing a hand-stippled main plate that has a shimmering, textured finish reminiscent of the moon’s surface.
