From time-tested icons to present day masterpieces, a luxury sports watch in full gold never fails to make an impression. The allure of these watches lies in their shaped cases, integrated bracelets, and often textured dials. While most luxury sports watches are crafted from stainless steel, there are those that pull off a full gold look just as easily. In a mix of old and new, here's a series of full gold luxury sports watches that will cure any potential case of gold fever.
The iconic Royal Oak is pretty much the blueprint of a luxury sports watch. It has come in a wide range of materials and styles since its inception. One of the more recent masterpieces is the Royal Oak Openworked Extra-Thin. It features a luxurious full gold exterior with a completely openworked movement. The watch has a 37mm x 10mm 18k rose gold case with a brushed and polished finish. It also has an octagonal bezel and a sapphire crystal front and back. The purple minute flange and white gold hands and markers with luminous inserts add to its appeal. Powered by the in-house Calibre 3132, this watch offers automatic winding and a double balance architecture.
The Octo Finissimo is also a masterpiece in style and design. It impresses with its ultra-thin 6.40mm case and bracelet, featuring many angles and facets. Paired with a deep blue sunray-brushed dial, it adds a pop of color to anyone's wrist. The watch has a 40mm x 6.40mm 18k yellow gold case with a brushed and polished finish. It is powered by the Calibre BVL138, a micro-rotor automatic movement with a platinum rotor.
The Laureato collection captures the essence of what a luxury sports watch should be. The iconic octagonal bezel on top of a circular plinth is recognizable from a mile away. The watch comes in a 42mm x 10.68mm 18k pink gold case with a brushed and polished finish. It is available with a sage green or ultramarine blue dial featuring a Clous de Paris pattern. The applied gold-plated markers and hands with Super-LumiNova ensure optimal visibility. The watch is powered by the in-house Calibre GP01800-2317, an automatic movement with a 54-hour power reserve.
The Vacheron Constantin Overseas takes inspiration from the watches of the 1970s and works brilliantly in this luxurious pairing of green and gold. The deep green dial with recessed subdials adds depth to the color, complemented by the applied gold markers and hands. The watch features a 42.5mm x 13.7mm rose gold case with a brushed and polished finish. It is equipped with the in-house Calibre 5200, an automatic movement with a 52-hour power reserve.
