As brightly coloured dials continue to enter the fray, spurred on by influences such as Rolex’s Stella line of old, Audemars Piguet continues to push the envelope, combining new fashions with tried and tested brand icons.

The selection of materials is fundamental to the design of any timepiece. The Royal Oak Chronograph Amethyst masterfully combines 18-carat pink gold with an amethyst-set bezel, achieving a harmonious aesthetic that is both bold and subtly refined. This is not to suggest that the watch lacks presence—on the contrary, it is undeniably striking—yet it maintains a restrained elegance, avoiding excess. Such balance exemplifies a successful and tasteful execution of design. Paired with a 38mm case which further obeys this philosophy, and what beholders are left with is a watch that is as chic as it is impactful.
