Rose gold has slowly crept into men's fashion over the last few years and now has become a fully fledged part of a Dapper Chapper's look.
Although the likes of Patek Phillipe, Nixon and Michael Kors have been presenting rose gold pieces for years, popularity has increased with the dapper gent after the likes of Bartmans Siegel, Burberry, Gieves and Hawkes and Hackett included these statement pieces in their SS14 shows.
Since then popularity in rose gold accessories and timepieces has continued to grow reflecting the constant need for diversity and evolution in men's fashion.
I've taken a look at six timepieces which uses rose gold in the bracelet, dial or bezel & I'd be keen to know which one you would go by picking your favourite leaving a comment at the end:
