Hi Everyone,
Any recommendations for platinum watches? I am hoping to find a watch which has a platinum case and platinum bracelet. Only requirement is that the watch dial is symmetrical (preferably no date).
My interest in platinum started when I wore a platinum ring, I really like the weight of it. Recently, I tried a White Gold Daytona and was surprised by it’s weight. That brought me to search for a platinum watch!
I have done some search on brands which I am familiar with (e.g. Seiko, Grand Seiko & Credor) but I couldn’t find one which has platinum case and platinum bracelet.
Some background on my collection, I currently own mainly Seiko watches (Diver, multiple Astrons, etc) and a Grand Seiko (Jade Iwate SBGW255). Looking to acquire a Lake Suwa (SLGA007) in the near future but I am also looking for a platinum watch to diversify my collection.
I’ve always quite liked the parmigiani fleurier tonda and the PFC914-2020002-200182 includes a lot of platinum. Case, bracelet, dial, bezel and rotor all made with 950 platinum.
It does have a date but since it’s located at 6 o’clock the dial still looks symmetrical. It does gave a very monochrome appearance. Which can be a bit hit or miss, depending on your personal tastes.
Ah yes I came across parmigiani while looking at other watches. Unfortunately the price is out of my budget. Unfortunately I have came to dislike the date complication due to aesthetics and the hassle or setting the date (Astron watches are convenient!). Thanks for sharing!
