This Rolex has a very nice classic Swiss style. You can also purchase it in a few different variations, all steel, different two tones. Worth checking out all the options before you make your purchase. I love the way the black dials compliments the light use of 18kt gold. I’m not a fan of overly flashy watches. So wouldn’t want too much gold myself. I feel this watch uses a sensible amount.
