COMING UP ROSES

Rose-gold timepieces for him are blossoming in the luxury watch world.
The popularity of rose gold for men’s watches has grown quickly, bringing a breath of spring to the finest designs in the luxury market. Though this gold alloy can be traced back hundreds of years, its richness and depth still catch the attention of today’s trendsetting Miami men. Now a number of watchmakers are offering proprietary shades of rose, pink, or red gold that turn their timepieces into must-have collectibles. The blush hue gives these watches a vintage look that makes them an elegant choice— both timeless and on trend. For more watch features and expanded coverage, go to oceandrive.com/watchesand-jewelry.
