Iced-Out Diamond Watches From Top Luxury Brands

Luxury watches from the world’s top brands are already the cream of the crop, showcasing the very best in complications, design, and mechanical engineering. Now, take those elite specimens and add another impressive feature: naturally mined diamonds. All of a sudden, you have uncovered a truly unique and captivating class of watches like no other.

Diamond-set watches have been popular since the beginnings of luxury horology, when early wristwatches were primarily targeted at women. In these first stages of watchmaking, creators blended high jewelry and haute horology into one, offering decadent illusion watches and timepieces that looked like bracelets. These trends have persisted for centuries, and gem-set watches remain just as popular now as they were hundreds of years ago.

Investing in a diamond-studded timepiece is an excellent way to elevate your watch box. These exquisite timepieces are unafraid to show off their value, both in carat weight and watchmaking prowess. Whether you choose a Rolex adorned with diamonds and sapphires galore, an Audemars Piguet with a decorative diamond bezel, or a Patek Philippe completely covered in diamonds, you cannot go wrong with the iced-out look.

Glamorous diamond watches are a staple of haute horlogerie, giving watchmakers an opportunity to showcase their incredible accomplishments in gem-setting and design. Often, these gorgeous pieces are created in limited-edition runs, making them especially valuable and highly collectible among those who strive to curate elite watch boxes.

Furthermore, plenty of celebrities love diamond-set watches. We have seen exceptional diamond timepieces on the wrists of Kylie Jenner, Cardi B, Michelle Yeoh, Rihanna, Nicole Kidman, Victoria Beckham, and countless others. But of course, iced-out watches are not reserved exclusively for women.

More and more, men are embracing the style and flair associated with these decadent creations, too. Icons like Tom Brady, Floyd Mayweather, Travis Kelce, DJ Khaled, J Balvin, Myke Towers, Sylvester Stallone, Colman Domingo, and many others have shown off exquisite diamond and gem-set timepieces that are made to turn heads.

With this curated selection of iced-out diamond watches that are available now at Avi & Co., you can channel the same celebrity style. When you fasten a watch covered in exquisite, naturally mined diamonds around your wrist, you will know the feeling of true success. Here are some of our favorite diamond-studded timepieces for this year and beyond.

This summer, cool down with a little bit of ice. Or in the case of this stunning Patek Philippe Nautilus watch, a lot of ice. Crafted from prestigious 18K rose gold, this Nautilus is completely covered in round-cut diamonds across the bracelet, bezel, dial, and crown. Not an inch of this watch has escaped the diamond treatment, and the mixture of stone sizes presents a masterclass in maximalism and timeless style. Somehow, this glamorous timepiece manages to look effortless and intentional all in one fell swoop.

With its mesmerizing display of light and brilliance, perfectly complemented by the warmth of the rose gold case, this Patek Philippe Nautilus is sure to become a treasured family heirloom. In fact, Victoria Beckham has been photographed wearing the white gold version of this very same piece. One thing is for sure: This watch is decidedly posh.

We are proud to include our very own Iced Collection timepieces in this curated selection of diamond-set watches. The Iced Collection premiered in 2023 to much fanfare and was an immediate hit with both our celebrity clients and everyday watch collectors. These sparkling pieces come in three sizes (37 mm, 40 mm, and 44 mm), so every wearer can find the watch that best flatters their wrist. You can also choose from an 18K white gold or 18K rose gold case. But of course, the part of this watch that will instantly catch your eye is the diamonds.

Our Iced Collection watches are completely covered in countless baguette-cut diamonds. The unique patterning on the watch’s diamond-set bracelet takes inspiration from stone paths, and the concentric circles of diamonds on the dial draw the eye to its center. No hour markers interrupt this perfect symphony of gems, which catch the light from every angle. An Iced Collection timepiece is sure to be the creme de la creme of any watch box.

Avi & Co. Insights: All three sizes of Iced Collection watches are compatible with our recently released Color in Motion rubber straps. These vibrant straps come in seven different colors and are interchangeable with the watches’ original diamond bracelets. They offer a chance to infuse your Iced Collection look with additional personality and athleticism. Choose from pink, blue, red, orange, yellow, black, and white to make your Iced Collection watch truly yours.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection is a hallmark of fine watchmaking and has been since its debut in the 1970s. The success of the Royal Oak line ushered in a new chapter in haute horology, one where stainless steel sports watches found their footing. Many other Swiss brands followed suit, some (like Patek Philippe) finding success and others finding the market too crowded. Yet in all of this upheaval, Audemars Piguet still managed to stand out from the rest of the pack, cementing its status as a first-class watchmaker with unmatched dedication to innovation and creativity in the watch world.

Over 50 years have passed since the first Royal Oak watches were sold to the public, and Audemars Piguet continues to innovate on the classic. Here, we see a perfect example of the brand’s ongoing commitment to raising the bar on haute horlogerie. This 18K white gold Royal Oak watch preserves the classic architectural features of the original (the octagonal bezel and exposed screws, to name a couple) while adding an unmissable element to the mix: diamonds, diamonds, and more diamonds. These precious stones cover the bezel, bracelet, and dial of this impressive chronograph watch, which is decorated with three pale blue subdials. Small sapphire hour markers complete the picture, making this timepiece one to remember.

You will find diamond accents on many pieces from the brand dubbed The Crown, but there are few Rolex watches quite as decadent as this one. Take a look at the rainbow Rolex Daytona, crafted from 18K rose gold and featuring a striking combination of pave diamonds and colorful sapphires. The vibrant sapphires circle the bezel of the watch, which wraps around a diamond pave dial set with sapphire hour markers. The warmth and prestige of Rolex’s proprietary Everose gold formula is the perfect foil to this concerto of color and sparkle.

We are not the only ones who love the look of a rainbow Rolex; it is highly popular among celebrities as well. NFL great Travis Kelce, who is newly married to pop star Taylor Swift, has been photographed wearing a rainbow Rolex Daytona. Other NFL players have gravitated toward this piece too, including Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes. Beyond that, GQ magazine has dubbed the rainbow Daytona “Rolex’s most fun watch.” If that is not a high compliment, we do not know what is. In short, this timepiece is a must-have in any modern collection.

We cannot get enough of the rainbow watch trend, and it perfectly fits in with our penchant for diamond-studded masterpieces. We are proud to introduce you to our Frosted Rainbow watches, a limited edition twist on our classic Frosted Collection. These watches retain the masterful “frosted” bracelet, which embodies the flavor of a winter morning, but add in a splash of color in the form of thirty-two naturally mined sapphires. The gorgeous sapphires encircle a diamond pave dial in a swath of color ranging from cornflower blue to tiger lily orange.

The Frosted Rainbow watches offer a substantial 44 mm case size, helping them make an impact on any wrist. They are available in 18K white gold or 18K rose gold finishes, and like the Iced Collection watches, they are compatible with our Color in Motion rubber straps. By combining exquisite luxury with the ultimate versatility, these timepieces are the perfect way to round out a robust watch collection full of stunning diamond creations.
