With a satin-brushed finish and sporting a gorgeous matte grainy olive green dial, this new solid gold model is for sure one that will become a staple in the Tudor lineup.

The warm tones of the 5N pink gold and the intensity of the sunburst green dial create a combination that is pure fire and as sexy as it gets.
