Two-tone watches strike a balance between everyday steel and something a little more festive, and the Mido Baroncelli Tonneau Lady M041.307.22.016.00 does it with real finesse. Rose gold PVD accents warm up the steel, while a barrel-shaped case gives the whole piece a vintage-inspired silhouette.

Baroncelli is Mido's dress collection, created in 1976 and shaped by the graceful arches of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. On this Tonneau, double gadroons trace the rim of the case and frame a white dial set with twelve diamonds. Despite carrying a full automatic movement, the case is only 7.5mm thick, thanks to Mido's Caliber 1192 based on the slim ETA 2892-A2. It winds itself as you move, offers up to 42 hours of reserve, and its decorated rotor can be seen through the display back.

The bracelet alternates polished steel and rose gold-toned links and closes with a push-button folding clasp. The result pairs easily with both silver and gold jewelry, which makes it a versatile choice for someone who wears both.
