Gold Plated Parker
A slim rectangular dress watch inspired by one of the most elegant periods in watch design.
The Gold Plated Parker is a true heritage throwback, faithfully capturing the spirit of an original Prestex rectangular watch from circa 1935. Measuring 24mm x 31mm, this refined dress watch combines authentic Art Deco styling with modern Swiss reliability. Its slim profile, beautifully proportioned rectangular case and vintage-inspired detailing create a watch that feels both timeless and contemporary.
One of the most striking updates to the latest Parker is the introduction of raised applied Roman numerals. Unlike the previous printed design, these polished applied indices add depth and character to the dial, creating a more luxurious appearance and enhancing legibility. The cleaner dial layout now features simply PRESTEX beneath 12 o'clock, allowing the elegant architecture of the dial to take centre stage. Combined with the small seconds display at 6 o'clock, the result is a watch that feels remarkably faithful to the golden age of watchmaking while offering a noticeably elevated level of refinement.
Powered by a Swiss-made Ronda quartz movement, the Gold Plated Parker delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability. The polished gold-tone case is crafted from 316L stainless steel with gold plating, paired with a sapphire crystal and finished with a beautifully proportioned crown. The watch offers the charm and sophistication of a vintage rectangular dress watch while benefiting from modern materials and construction.
