Press release
Drawing inspiration from the places he travels, the people he encounters and the heroes he admires, Ralph Lauren's watches express the grace and beauty of the designer's unique aesthetic vision. Among the four luxury watch collections, the Ralph Lauren Stirrup watch is especially iconic.
Since the model's debut in 2009, the Ralph Lauren Stirrup watch has been recognized as a perfect expression of the brand's elevated style. With its unique stirrup silhouette and a variety of distinctive faces, this timeless design captures the essence of Ralph Lauren's equestrian tradition in an ultra sophisticated, classic timepiece.
Ralph Lauren Stirrup watches are available for men and women, offered in small, medium and large models, and feature either time-only, small second or chronograph functions. Cases are fashioned from white gold, rose gold, platinum and steel, and embellished with rows of gems or full-cut diamonds. They are offered with link bracelets of precious metal, calf leather straps and alligator straps. Enhanced by subtle yet distinctive equestrian details, the collection's stirrup-shaped buckles complement matching cases. A unique strap design recalls the contour of a saddle as it passes beneath the case and through the stirrup to secure it.
Rose Gold 4N, a Ralph Lauren signature
Ralph Lauren Watch and Jewelry collections offer two kinds of gold: white gold and rose gold 4N. The latter is achieved by adding copper to the gold alloy, resulting in a lustrous reddish hue—the higher the copper content, the stronger the effect. Rose gold 4N is traditionally used by watchmakers to realize their masterpieces and is the industry's preferred finish for high-end timepieces.
Featured Stirrup Collection masterpieces
Within the Ralph Lauren Stirrup Collection, two superb and versatile models are worthy of special mention. With their fluid aesthetics and balanced combination of dressy and casual elements, the Gold Link and Rose Gold Chronograph watches are the ultimate complement to the Ralph Lauren lifestyle.
The Ralph Lauren Stirrup Gold Link, feminine and sensual
Small model in 18K rose gold, mechanical manual winding manufacture movement, hours and minutes, 30- meter water resistance, 18K rose gold link jewelry bracelet.
Combining fine watchmaking with jewelry craftsmanship, the Ralph Lauren Stirrup Gold Link watch offers sophisticated style and the ultimate in technical precision. Its rose gold case elegantly frames the watch's manufacture movement. The links of its matching rose gold bracelet are crafted to interlock perfectly, ensuring that it lies flat against the wrist for comfort. Seamless integration of case and bracelet are achieved by a hornless design that is an expression of pure glamour.
The Ralph Lauren Stirrup Gold Link features a manual winding mechanical movement caliber RL430, made by Piaget for Ralph Lauren, with a 40-hour power reserve and a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour.
