For decades, the market was dominated by classic stainless-steel sport watches and rose gold dress pieces with white dials and clean styling. In recent years, that’s changed as watchmakers have embraced their creativity and designed models that allow wearers to truly express themselves and their personal style. Today, watches can feature wild motifs, unusual materials, and bold colors, including dials that showcase all the colors of the rainbow.
A sprinkling of rainbow-colored luxury timepieces began coming to market over the past decade, with Rolex making a few Daytona models with colorful sapphire bezels in 2012 and Hublot and Chopard not far behind. By 2019, there was a veritable downpour, with the trend moving to watches by Parmigiani Fleurier, Audemars Piguet, and even Apple.
