Pink Lady Sapphire by Richard Mille

30mm

Inspired by the classic “Pink Lady” cocktail that took women of the 1930’s by storm, the Lady Pink Sapphire by Richard Mille is an elegant watch with ultra-luxury materials and world class design. The polished bezel, case back, and case band are made from a solid piece of pink Sapphire, which takes over 40 entire days to cut and finish for each timepiece. The result is both dazzling in looks and offers practical protection, such as scratch resistance.

Day Night by Blancpain

Day Night by Blancpain

$51,500

40mm

Quite the step down in price, this timepiece may not retail in the stratosphere, but it is still not of this Earth. Blancpain has reinforced its tradition for flair and innovation for savoir-faire in this Day Night timepiece. The diamond-studded bezel encases a beautiful, 40mm mother-of-pearl dial that contains 14 diamonds that are meant to represent the stars.

The moon slows with 50 more diamonds that complement a shining sun of 50 yellow sapphires. It is difficult to comprehend how many precious stones can possibly fit on this luxury timepiece, but Blancpain has done it. The Calibre 1163JN Automatic movement uses two retrograde indications and it will run with perfection for years to come.
