When asked about the most classic, high-end and popular styles of watches, most watch friends will answer “green gold (gold case + green plate)” without hesitation. Undoubtedly, no other style can be as fascinating as the golden case with the emerald green or dark green dial! However, when the price appears in front of us, we usually keep a clear mind, because this optimal combination and the blessing of precious metals usually only appear on the most classic watch styles of the brand. The superposition of the triple “buff” has also caused the price to skyrocket, making it continue to soar in the direction that we can’t afford it. However, if you can only own one watch in your life, then most watch lovers may also tend to choose the top configuration of “green gold”, because classic watches will never go out of style! In 2024, among the many watch models, the high-end configuration of “green gold” still launches several new models. They are not only full of surprises, but also are definitely a “life guide” worth trying if the budget is sufficient!

Watch comments:When it comes to the color combination of green and gold, Vacheron Constantin is undoubtedly the most beautiful brand, so among green and gold watches, most people’s emotional expressions focus on this brand. In 2024, Vacheron Constantin’s self-winding watch (model: 4520V/210R-B967) in the Overseas series uses a dark green dial for the first time and is paired with an 18K 5N pink gold case. This is not only an absolute luxury, but also a very elegant choice. Compared with the Zonghengsihai series that was previously “dominated” by blue dials, this dark green dial shows a more advanced and restrained style, which also explains why it is loved by watch friends. With a case diameter of 41 mm and a thickness of 10.69 mm, this not only ensures overall elegance and comfort, but also maximizes performance and configuration. This is a dark green lacquered dial with a date display window located at three o’clock in the afternoon. The bottom of the dial is sunburst satin-brushed and features a circular satin-brushed inner minute track and a velvety-smooth outer minute track. The decoration of 18K gold includes hour hands, minute hands and hour markers, and is coated with blue Super Luminova® luminous coating, so you can feel this ultimate beauty even without using hands. The device is equipped with the 5100 self-winding mechanical movement independently developed and manufactured by Vacheron Constantin, and is equipped with a 22K gold oscillating weight, which is also decorated with the series’ iconic wind rose compass pattern. The movement vibrates 28,800 times per hour and provides approximately 60 hours of power reserve. In addition, its waterproof depth can reach 150 meters.

Watch comments:In addition to Vacheron Constantin, there is another brand that has reached the extreme in green and gold color matching, and that is Rolex, our watch friend’s favorite brand. If you can buy products in green and gold colors, or even find diamond-encrusted models, then you have the opportunity to solve all your problems at once and for all. This year, Rolex’s newly released day-date series m228348rbr-0045 watch perfectly meets all the aforementioned functional characteristics. The Day-Date is made only of precious metals and is considered the high-end series of the Rolex brand. This Oyster case is made of 40 mm 18K gold, with a gradient green dial and a diamond-set outer ring. Its overall level of luxury is self-evident. The design of this dial is different from ordinary green dials. It uses a gradient green paint process, showing a detailed transition and diffusion of black from the center to the edge. Coupled with the sunray decoration, the overall look is more noble. The peripheral diamond inlay process is very delicate, and the height, direction, regularity, solidity and proportion of the gemstones are all meticulously depicted. The fan-shaped comprehensive writing window at 12 o’clock, coupled with the small convex lens magnified date window at 3 o’clock, has become a distinctive feature of Rolex DD. The device is equipped with the Rolex 3255 self-winding mechanical perpetual motion movement, which has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and can maintain high accuracy within plus or minus two seconds per day. It is also strongly guaranteed by the Rolex Super Chronometer Certification.

Watch comments:Tudor launched the most expensive watch in the history of the brand this year, with a public price of 254,800. However, due to its overly luxurious design and material selection, it has once again won the favor of a large number of watch friends. The Tudor Black Bay 1958 18K gold watch (model: M79018V-0006) is well-known for the luxury of its 18K gold case and solid bracelet. Paired with a green plate, the overall green and gold color scheme has become the “ceiling” configuration in many watches. The case and solid bracelet have been deeply frosted, showing the elegant touch of large-area brushing. The dial adopts a golden-green design, with white three-dimensional hour markers and classic snowflake hands, and is also covered with luminous coating. The combination of the 18K gold unidirectional rotating outer ring and the matte green anodized aluminum 60-minute scale word ring, coupled with gold-plated numbers and scales, makes the overall design look harmonious and luxurious. Among Tudor Black Bay products, the transparent bottom cover design is relatively rare, but it still has 200 meters of waterproof performance. The device is equipped with the MT5400 movement originally produced by Tudor, equipped with a silicon hairspring and has a vibration frequency of 28800VPH. In addition, it is certified by the Swiss Official Observatory and has an error range of -2 to +4 seconds per day, while also having a 70-hour dynamic energy storage capacity. Whether it is performance, time efficiency, appearance design or material selection, everything is luxurious and top-notch. This is also the highest standard of the brand, and there is absolutely no mistake when purchasing.
Conclusion:In fact, the top combination of gold watches and green dials, plus most of them are luxuriously blessed with 18K gold, usually have extremely high looks but also very high prices. Whether it is the first green gold watch with a dark green dial in the Vacheron Constantin series, or the consistently luxurious Rolex day-date model with a diamond bezel, or the most expensive Tudor watch in history, all these elements together constitute an unparalleled aesthetic and luxury experience. Although some people may think that buying Tudor at this price is not as good as choosing other high-end luxury brands, we can think about it from another angle. Tudor, the most expensive watch in the history of the brand, has reached the highest standards of the brand in terms of movement performance and material selection. Therefore, from this perspective, it is also worth buying.
