For a softer take on rose gold, the Mido Baroncelli Big Date M027.426.36.088.00 pairs its warm PVD case with a grey dial and a brown leather strap. The result is relaxed, refined and easy to wear with almost anything.

The watch's practical signature is a large two-level date at 6 o'clock, far more legible than a typical small window. The aesthetics come from the Baroncelli playbook, inspired by Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II: Roman numerals, a double gadroon bezel and double-sided hands that shimmer as you move. The grey dial lets the rose gold tones glow without feeling flashy.

Mido's Caliber 80 automatic, with up to 80 hours of power reserve, powers the watch and can be admired through the see-through back. The 40mm by 10.4mm case is comfortable all day, and the brown leather makes it a great fit for autumn tailoring, chinos and suede shoes.
