A Girl’S BeST FrienD

Those familiar with the fashion side of Gucci might have noticed a distinctive crisscross motif printed on their bags and shoes. Known as the diamante, this pattern has inspired the Diamantissima jewelry line and also a watch line of the same name. These minimalist timepieces are offered in several case and strap options, but it can be argued that this polished stainless steel version (model YA141512 to be exact) is a definite cut above the rest. The intricate mesh bracelet certainly adds a refined edge, but, as usual, it’s the dial that steals the show: A shimmering field of white mother-of-pearl, set with four diamonds and a pair of silver hands. As with any Diamantissima watch, the diamante pattern is displayed on the side of the case. Subtle yet alluring, this is definitely a piece worth investing in.
