Ralph Lauren Stirrup Rose Gold Full Set Diamonds & Stirrup Petite Link Mother of Pearl

When the Stirrup Collection was launched in 2009 in Geneva, it elegantly fused Ralph Lauren’s equestrian heritage with the finest in Swiss watchmaking. Since then, the Stirrup Collection has consistently evolved while staying true to its foundational codes: the unique stirrup-shaped case and a timeless Roman numeral dial.

Now introducing the latest iteration of the Stirrup Collection: the Stirrup Rose Gold Full Set Diamonds and The Stirrup Petite Link Mother of Pearl.

I wanted to celebrate the grace and beauty of horse riding, an elegant equestrian heritage—but at the same time create something that would be iconic and timeless. “ - Ralph Lauren

With this latest iteration, Ralph Lauren presents the feminine timepiece, the Stirrup Rose Gold Full Set Diamonds, a dazzling addition to the Stirrup Watch collection.

The dial is a sparkling sea of 307 brilliant-cut diamonds (approximately 1.46 carats) set in 18K white gold. Meticulously positioned, the gems play off each other, setting the watch face aglow.

Adorned with 282 diamonds (approximately 1.77 carats, brilliant-cut as well), the watch case in 18K rose gold amplifies the dial’s luxurious design. The discreet elegance of the black alligator strap creates a contrast that marries luxury with simplicity.

The Stirrup Rose Gold Full Set Diamonds stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of precision. At its core, the six-jewel Swiss Manufacture movement caliber 976.001 operates flawlessly with a battery life of about 74 months. The oxidized black watch hands are silent and sleek as they glide across the dial.

The Stirrup Rose Gold Full Set Diamonds watch embodies Ralph Lauren’s commitment to master craftsmanship, innovation, and to the essence of luxury. The pinnacle of fifteen years of excellence that have defined the Stirrup collection, this watch is not only the celebration of a moment but also a pledge of enduring reliability and excellence.

As a tribute to women's watches and jewelry, the Stirrup collection has evolved from a daring vision to a timeless icon of simplicity and elegance. A decade and a half on, the Stirrup remains as faithful as ever to its original ethos of equestrian-inspired grace, continuing to stand as a testament to the timeless beauty and elegance that Ralph Lauren embodies.

The 3-piece Stirrup Small 750 Rose Gold / Full Set Diamond Dial (469942834001)  price is $35'000, CHF 32'900, EUR 35'300, £31'500, available at Ralph Lauren flagship stores.

2024 - Stirrup Petite Link Mother of Pearl

This creation rekindles the daring spirit that caught the watch industry by surprise – and marked the birth of an icon – a decade-and-a-half ago: ever so discreetly, the Stirrup Petite-Link dazzles.

Set along the outer perimeter of the polished stirrup-shaped steel case – measuring a petite 23.3 by 27 mm with a height of just 6.7 mm – 56 brilliant-cut white diamonds (approximately 0.41 ct) draw attention to the white mother-of-pearl dial, where glossy black sword-type hands alone indicates the hours and the minutes. The curved sapphire crystal subtly amplifies the mesmerizing effect of the material’s natural iridescence.

This modern interpretation of Ralph Lauren’s classic watch design artfully juxtaposes the collection’s hallmark stirrup with a bracelet inspired by high jewelry. However, with a twist: made from the same polished steel as the case, the intertwining links are set aglow with a single row of brilliant-cut diamonds (84 in total, approximately 0.72 ct), naturally embracing the wrist. Beneath the lacquered and polished white mother-of-pearl dial, a Swiss-manufactured movement, caliber 976.001 – hand- finished with vertical Côtes de Genève stripes and circular graining – provides the precision and practicality of quartz with a battery life of at least 74 months.

The Stirrup Petite Link Steel With Diamond / Mother-of-Pearl Dial (469942833002) is available  at www.ralphlauren.com and at Ralph Lauren flagship stores and starts at a retail price of $9'900, CHF 9'000, EUR 9'900, £9'000.
