Armin Strom builds the Tribute³ Au750 from rose gold inside and out

Armin Strom’s Tribute³ Au750 treats rose gold as architecture rather than surface decoration. The 38mm case, off-centre hours-and-minutes dial, small seconds and three movement bridges are all made from 18-carat rose gold. Three guilloché patterns separate the surfaces: soleil on the main dial, grain d’orge on the seconds display and clous de Paris across the three-quarter bridge.

The 9.38mm-thick case is water-resistant to 5 ATM and paired with grey nubuck leather. Inside, the manually wound AMW21 calibre uses Armin Strom’s motor-barrel construction to deliver a stated 100-hour power reserve, with 97 per cent of its components made by the manufacture. Limited to eight pieces, Ref. RG26-TRI.AU is priced at CHF 69,000.
