A Day In The Life Of The Perfect Accessory

Though it’s easy enough to steal a glance at one of the all too many phones, pads, and computers surrounding us these days, wouldn’t you rather stay on schedule in style (and sans screen)?

Enter Audemars Piguet’s just-released New Millenary Frosted Gold Philosophique. The tantalizing timepiece has been micro-hammered and hand-finished by Audemars Piguet’s craftsmen at the manufacturer's headquarters nestled in the heart of the Swiss Jura. It’s in this idyllic locale that the Dutch influencer, Anouk Yve, spent a blissful day.

A worthwhile investment needs to outlast any fleeting item du jour—and what’s more timeless than an expertly executed watch? Consider this 18-carat masterpiece a future heirloom to have and to hold now and down the line. The wristwatch is equipped with just a single sand-blasted hour hand to encourage you to let go of the minutiae (and minutes) of your day-to-day. Here, see Yve set her own leisurely pace to indulge in the finer things in life, like fresh-out-of-the-oven pastries and a spot in the sun.

Paired with elevated essentials (a breezy button-down; the perfect camel-colored trousers; a pair of classic sunglasses), the chic watch will get you from point A to B on time and in tip-top form.

Take your pick from an 18-carat pink gold face finished with brown alligator straps, or perhaps you’d prefer it in white gold flanked by midnight-hued leather. Regardless of your personal style, the Philosophique will elevate your look.

Forget fingers stacked with precious stones and armfuls of embellished bangles. Finished with a sapphire cabochon and diamond-dust effect, this non-pareil accessory renders everything else slightly superfluous, while a crystal clear caseback flaunting the watch's colored plates of the oscillating weight—watch the ultra sophisticated statement piece hard at work.

A perfect piece, for the perfect day.
