From the popular trends of new products in the past two years, gold styles tend to make a comeback. Gold is generally chosen to be made among the precious metal flagship models of various watch brands. Big gold fake watches are no longer synonymous with outdated and old-fashioned but are associated with retro charm and the most direct luxury beauty. Indeed, the shining effect of Gold can make other precious metal styles pale in comparison. So today, I will introduce three more representative gold watch models from the past two years.

Rolex released a Gold Ghost King at the watch exhibition at the beginning of the year, attracting widespread attention. However, I am still too particular and picky. Many watch friends may be unable to accept the weight, so I introduce you to the most classic large gold watch, the Rolex DAY-DATE Day-Date. Although Rolex did not completely replace it this year, it has also made updates and upgrades for some styles, such as the 36mm White Rome in the picture. The new Rolex Day-Date 36, represented by the gold case 128238, uses new three-dimensional Roman hour markers, which is consistent with the Day-Date 40, so that watch friends who initially liked three-dimensional Roman letters but could only buy 40DD have a new choice, and can choose this authentic and elegant size style. Through the actual photos, we can see that the three-dimensional Roman font is designed with the same multi-faceted treatment as the hour and minute hands of DD, including the triangular grooved bezel, which is also the dogtooth bezel, and the flat polishing is combined with the chamfered polishing to enhance the three-dimensional sense of the watch. The update of Rolex’s big gold watch this year is just through this detail that the visual effect of the Day-Date 36 is directly raised to a new level. In terms of movement, the Rolex Day-Date is currently equipped with a new generation of 32 automatic movements, specifically model 3255, with 70 hours of power, blue niobium hairspring, new Chronergy escapement, and Rolex Super Observatory certification, with a daily error of +2/-2 seconds.
Cartier CARTIER PRIVE series WGTO0006
- Product model: WGTO0006
- Watch diameter: 41.4x 32.9 mm
- Case thickness: 7.2 mm
- Movement type: manual mechanical
- Movement model: Cal.430MC
- Case Material: 18k Gold
- Waterproof depth: 30 meters
During the Watches & Wonders exhibition, Cartier also brought back the gold-made TORTUE single-button chronograph watch. Still, that watch was too popular and challenging to get, and it did not allow watch friends who missed the CPCP single-button chronograph to realize their dreams quickly. So watch friends who like Cartier gold watches; you can also change your mind and look at the two-hand style of the PRIVÉ series TORTUE in the picture. One of the reasons many watch friends and watch collectors like the Cartier PRIVÉ series is that the brand will launch these historically popular watches based on being faithful to the essence of the original. The classic tortoise shell design is also maintained at 41.4×32.9 mm in size and 7.2 mm thick. The apple-shaped hands, Roman numerals, and track-type minute scales are all inherited from the classic design of the original TORTUE, and the original flavor is retained as much as possible. But I like the new gold TORTUE because the brand combines the brilliance of Gold with the fine-grain texture of the dial, which is a little white and yellowish and presents a light champagne color. Cartier is the best at playing with gold watches and can show the elegant style of Gold very well. In terms of movement, the watch is equipped with Cartier’s thinnest 430MC manual winding movement, which has always been praised by everyone as one of the best ultra-thin manual movements on the market. There is no significant difference between the two, and the Piaget 430P is of the same group. The thickness is the same, 2.1 mm, which is also the fundamental reason why the watch has excellent control of the thickness of the shell.
TAG Heuer Carrera Series CBS2240.FC8319
- Product Model: CBS2240.FC8319
- Watch Diameter: 39mm
- Case Thickness: 13.9mm
- Movement Type: Automatic
- Movement Model: TH20-00
- Case Material: 18k Gold
- Waterproof Depth: 100m
Finally, I want to talk to you about a gold watch that may not be the first choice for watch friends, but it’s a beautiful retro solid style. It is the Carrera Glassbox gold chronograph launched by TAG Heuer last year. This watch is also based on the 1971 TAG Heuer 1158 CHN watch. The 39mm 3N gold case has become essential for TAG Heuer to reshape the classic. The watch also retains the design of the black and gold dial, but the new work uses a vertically brushed modification with a three-eye re-disc layout. The brush further highlights the old texture of the watch, and the two small black dials are decorated with record patterns to restore the classics. A date display window is under the small second dial at 6 o’clock. At the same time, I like this new work because TAG Heuer uses a dome-shaped curved watch mirror. The brand named it “Glassbox,” which means that the entire mirror is topped out, which also restores the design of the dome-shaped hesalite synthetic organic glass watch mirror of TAG Heuer’s classic chronograph in the 1970s. The sapphire crystal glass used in the new work is curved, which will be more challenging than the original. As an evolutionary version of Heuer02, the latest generation TH20-00 movement uses a two-way winding rotor, which is more efficient and reliable and can provide 80 hours of power reserve when fully wound. In addition, the polished finish of the movement is also excellent, but as a gold style, I hope TAG Heuer can use a gold rotor for this watch, which will undoubtedly make it perfect. Tag Heuer replica watches.
Today, gold watches are precious metal styles’ most challenging design skill. If they are not done well, they will inevitably look “nouveau riche” in visual effects. These three new gold watches have all completed the challenge very well. Cartier’s gold watches are also a watch brand that will not be associated with “rustic.” The classic Rolex Day-Date is timeless, and the new White Roman style also strengthens the style. TAG Heuer is a pure retro style work that restores the style of TAG Heuer watches from the last century.
