The new references feature two models in 18K gold and one in 950 platinum. Each includes a 15-row fully polished bracelet that adds weight and transforms the design into a more robust piece while retaining its elegant character. The cases show a mostly brushed finish that contrasts with the polished bracelet and square bezel.
