Romain Gauthier is one of the most innovative and skilled watchmakers in today’s era, celebrated for creating visually stunning timepieces that showcase intricate craftsmanship with a modern twist. The brand combines traditional watchmaking techniques with an elegant and sporty aesthetic, offering creations in refined materials such as titanium and platinum.

Recently, the brand released the C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Six, the sixth and final addition of the titanium collection. Today, the brand unveils a new milestone, a fully platinum version of the C by Romain Gauthier with an integrated bracelet, a sophisticated blend of luxury and innovation poised to captivate.

The platinum case features a refined blend of brushed and polished surfaces, measuring 41mm in diameter and 9.55mm in thickness. Its bezel, also crafted from platinum, is initially machined into a round shape, with six straight sides cut to create six elegant facets. The dial is protected by sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. The watch also includes the brand’s signature offset crown positioned at 2 o’clock.

The dial, made from 18k white gold, showcases a bouchardé texture—an intricate, hand-engraved finish crafted by the manufacturer's skilled decoration and finishing experts. A blue PVD treatment is then applied to the dial, enriching the texture. The dial is adorned with Super-LumiNova hands, also in 18k white gold, along with matching white gold indexes and Roman numerals, and includes a small seconds sub-dial positioned at 7 o’clock.

The watch is driven by an in-house, hand-wound movement crafted from 18k white gold, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and providing a power reserve of 60 hours. It comes with an integrated platinum bracelet with a folding clasp, giving the watch a total weight of 350 grams. Each bracelet link showcases contrasting finishes, with satin-finished surfaces and hand-polished connecting elements. The watch is priced at CHF 118,000, equivalent to AED 503,000.
