8 Best Gold Integrated Bracelet Watches at European Watch Company

When we think of integrated bracelet designs, we think of stainless steel watches. That is probably because these watches are very sporty and the first two, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus, were initially released in steel. But over the years, as integrated bracelet watches have become vital parts of so many brands’ catalogs, the collections have expanded. This not only includes integrated bracelet watches with complications, but in precious metals, including gold. In this guide we take a look at 8 of our favorite gold watches with integrated bracelets

Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5811

Price: $140,000-$150,000, Case Size: 41mm, Thickness: 8.2mm, Lug-to-Lug: N.A., Lug Width: N.A., Water Resistance: 120m, Crystal: Sapphire, Movement: Automatic Winding, Material: White Gold

When you think of an integrated bracelet watch, especially in gold, the watch immediately comes to mind is the Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5811. The successor to the iconic stainless steel 5711, the release of the 5811 meant that Patek Philippe no longer offered the three-handed version of their most iconic watch in stainless steel. But that hasn’t wained collectors’ interest in the watch. The Genta-designed icon is still commanding prices well above retail on the secondary market. They are selling for right around $140,000.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Frosted White Gold Ref. 26239BC

Price: $140,000-$150,000, Case Size: 41mm, Thickness: 12.4mm, Lug-to-Lug: 48mm, Lug Width: N/A, Water Resistance: 50M, Crystal: Sapphire, Movement: Automatic Winding, Material: White Gold

Perhaps the most iconic integrated bracelet watch of them all is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. And since the Genta-designed piece was first released (in stainless steel) in 1972, the brand has expanded the collection, adding many different pieces in different materials and with different complications. One of our favorite Royal Oaks is a more recent addition. Introduced in 2021, this Royal Oak not only has a chronograph complication, but also a very interesting frosted white gold case and bracelet. The bracelet and case both are hammered, giving the frosted gold effect that gives the watch an additional sparkle. It’s a nice update to a one of the most iconic watches on the market.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8-Day Ref. 103667

Price: $38,000-$43,000, Case Size: 40mm, Thickness: 5.9mm, Lug-to-Lug: 46mm, Lug Width: N/A, Water Resistance: 30M, Crystal: Sapphire, Movement: Manually Wound, Material: Rose Gold

When it comes to more recent integrated bracelet designs, perhaps none are better than the Bulgari Octo Finissimo. First released in 2024, the slim case design with vintage and modern touches immediately appealed to enthusiasts. And the Octo Finissimo Ref. 103667 is a stunner. Packed into the rose gold case is a completely skeletonized movement, showcasing the watch’s inner workings. And at just 5.95mm thick, the watch is perfect to tuck under the cuff.

H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Tourbillon

Price: $115,000-$125,000, Case Size: 40mm, Thickness: 12.1mm, Lug-to-Lug: N.A.mm, Lug Width: N/A, Water Resistance: 120M, Crystal: Sapphire, Movement: Automatic Winding, Material: Rose Gold

Another modern integrated bracelet design that has captured the attention of collectors, especially collectors of independent brands, is the H. Moser & Cie Streamliner. The Streamliner features cushion-esque case with a snake-like bracelet that is extremely comfortable on the wrist. And while most variations of the Streamliner are made in steel, even those with complications. But one of the exceptions it the Streamliner Tourbillon. The rose gold case and bracelet are contrasted by the Vantablack dial, with the one minute flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock. Overall, the Streamliner Tourbillon manages to keep Moser’s understated aesthetic, even on a watch with a gold case and tourbillon. Quite the feet.

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin Skeleton Ref. 4300V/120R-B642

Price: $170,000-$180,000, Case Size: 41.5mm, Thickness: 8.1mm, Lug-to-Lug: N/A, Lug Width: N/A, Water Resistance: 50M, Crystal: Sapphire, Movement: Automatic Winding, Material: Rose Gold

Beyond the Royal Oak and Nautilus, the most popular integrated bracelet watch is probably the Vacheron Constantin Overseas. Released in 1996, two decades after the two Genta-designed icons, it has become a stalwart of VC’s catalog. Among the many pieces in the Overseas collection, the Perpetual Calendar Skeleton Ref. 4300V/120R-B642 is a heavy hitter. Beyond the rose gold case and bracelet, the watch not only features a perpetual calendar complication but a completely skeletonized dial. All of this in a 8.1mm thick case means makes this Overseas one of the most wearable perpetual calendars on the market.

Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222

Price: $75,000-$80,000, Case Size: 37mm, Thickness: 7.95mm, Lug-to-Lug: N/A, Lug Width: N/A, Water Resistance: 50M, Crystal: Sapphire, Movement: Automatic Winding, Material: Yellow Gold

Normally, a brand will only have one iconic integrated bracelet design in their collection. But when Vacheron Constantin re-released the Historiques 222 in 2022, collectors immediately took notice. As opposed to the Overseas, the Historiques 222 has a much more vintage design, very similar to the original 222, in production between 1977 and 1985. The yellow gold case and bracelet has a much more angular design. And the yellow gold dial gives the entire watch a monotone look. Due to the popularity of both the vintage and modern examples on the secondary market, we think Vacheron made the correct choice bringing it back.

Chopard Alpine Eagle Ref. 295363-5001

Price: $58,000-$62,000, Case Size: 41mm, Thickness: 9.75mm, Lug-to-Lug: N/A, Lug Width: N/A, Water Resistance: 100M, Crystal: Sapphire, Movement: Automatic Winding, Material: Rose Gold

Many were surprised when Chopard got into the integrated bracelet game in 2019. But, it is actually not that surprising. The Alpine Eagle is actually based off of a much older watch from Chopard’s catalog, the St. Mortiz. But it is an upgrade in basically every way. From the unique bracelet, that was actually designed to match some of Chopard’s jewelry, to the dial texture inspired by the iris of an eagle, there is a lot to love about the Alpine Eagle. Offered in both steel and gold, the Ref. 295363-5001 has a rose gold case with beautiful blue dial. If you want something a little more unique, the Alpine Eagle is a good option.

Czapek Antarctique Mount Erebus Deep Blue

Price: $58,000-$62,000, Case Size: 40.5mm, Thickness: 10.6mm, Lug-to-Lug: N/A, Lug Width: N/A, Water Resistance: 120M, Crystal: Sapphire, Movement: Automatic Winding, Material: Rose Gold

Though Czapek has a long history, the brand was reestablished fairly recently, in 2012. And since then, it has become a darling of the independent collecting circles. The most popular collection in Czapek’s catalog is definitely the Antarctique. While the Antarctique does have some influences, most notably the Royal Oak, its unique bracelet and beautiful dials allow it to stand on its own. The Antarctique Mount Erebus matches a rose gold case with beautiful deep blue dial. The vertical brushing gives the watch character that we haven’t seen on other watches. For the collector looking for a modern icon, the Czapek Antarctique is for you.
