Rolex

Rolex surprised everyone again this year with the release of the “Pepsi” GMT-Master II Jubilee. Evocative of the first GMT-Master II created in 1955, this watch wasn’t what anyone was expecting but is certainly making waves.

Two “Root Beer” GMT-Master II’s hit the scene this morning as well. One, in 18ct Everose gold with a two-color Cerachrom insert in black and brown ceramic. The other, Everose Rolesor with a graduated 24-hour, two-color Cerachrom insert also in black and brown.  Both iconic and elegant timepieces.

The final Rolex we’re very excited about is the New Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in 18ct Everose gold, adorned in 36 baguette-cut, rainbow sapphires on the bezel. This watch is sure to be a classic.

Patek Philippe

Patek Philippe always amazes at Baselworld. In 2018, they’ve released a bold Aquanaut Chronograph with orange accents that is sure to be a hit.

They’ve also introduced a dynamic and elegant Nautilus Perpetual Calendar that features a new complication that includes, month, day, date, leap year, moonphase, and 24-hour cycle. A classic yet innovative piece sure to turn heads.
