Ralph Lauren stated,
"The RL888 and 867 collections draw inspiration from the brand's flagship store on New York's Madison Avenue. I wanted to create elegant high jewelry timepieces that celebrate the world of luxury."
"RL888 DECO DIAMOND 38MM Model"
"867 DECO DIAMOND 27.5MM Model"
Both the RL888 and 867 feature a combination of Roman and Arabic numerals on their dials.
The use of both Roman and Arabic numerals was a popular detail in the 1920s, when Art Deco style dominated the era.
The "RL888 Deco Diamond Timepiece" showcases advanced gem-cutting and setting techniques, along with highly intricate decoration on 18K white gold. The bezel and bracelet feature elegant Art Deco motifs, adorned with a total of approximately 17.31 carats of diamonds and black spinels, emitting a magnificent radiance.
Meanwhile, the "867 Deco Diamond Timepiece" exudes a refined glamour with its sleek 27.5mm square case. The 18K white gold case and clasp are embellished with graceful geometric motifs, housing approximately 4.60 carats of sparkling diamonds and black spinels.
These two models, inheriting exceptional craftsmanship, are masterpieces that fuse timeless elegance with contemporary sensibility, brilliantly expressing the world of luxury.
