AUDEMARS PIGUET
To commemorate the Royal Oak's 50th anniversary last year, the manufacture reinvented the traditional rainbow watch by launching two sets of 10 fully gem-encrusted Royal Oak Selfwinding white gold watches in 37mm, as pictured here, and 41 mm. Each piece is entirely paved with a different gemstone - orange spessartite, ruby, pink tourmaline, amethyst, tanzanite, blue topaz, blue sapphire, emerald, tsavorite and chrysoberyl. When placed together side by side, the flamboyant timepieces form a dazzling rainbow. Every watch is festooned with some 800 baguette-cut coloured stones in the exact same shade, all meticulously selected and custom-cut for the most intense and pure colours. A first in the watchmaking industry, these two sets push the art of horological gem-setting to new heights.
PATEK PHILIPPE
The manufacture put a fun spin on its debut self-winding ladies' chronograph watch, which is the Aquanaut Luce collection's first chronograph model the Ref. 7968/300R-001 Aquanaut Luce "Rainbow" Chronograph. Equipped with the calibre CH 28-520, the sporty-elegant rose-gold timepiece flaunts a fascinating bezel dressed in two rows of gems arranged with invisible setting. The inner row comprises baguette-cut diamonds, while colourful baguette-cut sapphires set in a gradated rainbow make up the outer. An engraved mother-of-pearl dial also features 12 coloured sapphires as hour markers. To add more style options, three rubber straps in red, as seen here, matte beige and matte white are delivered with the 39.9mm by 42.02mm watch.
