In general, a luxury watch incorporate the finest materials and many of them use 18kt or 14kt yellow gold on the case or band. White and rose gold are also popular materials incorporated in true luxury timepieces. However, platinum is the most expensive of all metal materials used in luxury watch making. There are also stainless steel bracelets and bands, leather straps (lizard, calfskin, alligator patterns). Golden bracelet provide a bit more flash look, but the leather straps are perfect for those men looking for more toned-down casual look. The most glamorous are certainly diamond watches and many gemstones are encrusted into some of the most luxurious watch designs.
