Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend
A diamond watch makes many women's hearts beat a bit faster. There's a reason Marilyn Monroe sang "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend." Diamonds are long lasting and will accompany a woman throughout her life. If you want to give your darling a watch as a gift, then a women's diamond-set watch is the right way to go.
However, diamond watches aren't just limited to women. Men's models such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore with reference number 26403BC.ZZ.8044BC.01 are completely set with diamonds. The watch's 44-mm case is the perfect size for masculine wrists. Costing over 1.4 million euros, this model is already incredibly expensive. It's only topped by Hublot's 5 Million Dollar watch. This timepiece features over 1,200 diamonds at a total of 140 karats. Seventeen Hublot employees worked for 14 months to produce this timepiece. The 5 Million Dollar watch costs about 4.5 million euros, making it one of the most expensive watches in the world.
Most diamond watches, whether for men or women, feature gemstones on the bezel or dial, such as Rolex's diamond-set watches. The Datejust model is available in many different versions. Some of the women's watches feature diamond indices. The Swiss manufacturer often uses a combination of stainless steel and gold for the cases and bracelets of these watches. Eighteen-karat yellow, white, or pink gold watches are also available. A diamond-set watch is a solid investment due to the gemstones and use of gold or platinum.
How much do diamond watches cost?
The choice of which diamond watch you purchase depends heavily on personal taste and budget. There are countless types of diamond watches to choose from. Do you want a refined, conservative timepiece with diamond indices or are you looking for a hip, iced out watch with diamonds on the case, bracelet, and bezel?
Pre-owned diamond-set quartz watches from Ebel are available for less than 1,000 euros. These timepieces often feature 12 small diamonds as hour markers and stainless steel cases. You can occasionally find diamond-set quartz watches from Omega in this price range as well. You should be prepared to spend at least 2,000 euros on a white gold, diamond-set Omega women's watch.

The Cosmograph Daytona has been one of the most beloved Rolex watches for a long time. The so-called Paul Newman is especially in demand amongst collectors. It's difficult to find this vintage chronograph for less than 100,000 euros. The diamond-set Daytona is much more affordable. These varieties are usually made of 18-karat gold or a mix of stainless steel and gold. Diamonds are utilized as hour markers. The bicolor version costs around 10,000 euros pre-owned, while it costs 14,000 euros new.
You can purchase a gold, diamond-set men's Daytona for about 16,000 euros. These versions have a leather strap, and the timepiece is often in very good condition.

Cartier's Diamond Timepieces
Cartier is a world-renowned luxury brand. The French company is known for their accessories, jewelry, and watches. Their most highly sought-after watches are the Pasha, the Tank, and the Santos.

What is a diamond?
Diamonds are the most famous of all the gemstones. This incredibly hard mineral is made of crystalline carbon and is created 300 to 400 km below the Earth's surface where temperatures around 1400 °C and incredibly high levels of pressure are the norm. Occasionally, the pressure builds up and causes an explosion, shooting lava and the rare gemstones to the surface together. Diamonds are incredibly scarce. Their weight is measured in karats; one karat is equal to 0.2 g. A brilliant diamond refers to a diamond with a brilliant cut, a cut known for its shine and light refraction.
