Gucci Chiodo Steel Jewelry Watch, Quartz, Equestrian Theme, Circa 2000

This remarkable Gucci ladies’ watch is part of the Chiodo collection, whose design draws heavily on the Italian fashion house’s iconic equestrian motifs.

Its round polished steel case, with a generous diameter for a women’s watch, stands out for its particularly sculptural bezel. The bezel is punctuated by two prominent geometric elements in relief, arranged opposite each other, which echo the aesthetic of a faceted nail head. These motifs appear to rest upon the case and extend its volume, creating an asymmetrical, architectural silhouette that is instantly recognizable. Their presence on the bezel is one of the model’s most distinctive features and establishes a direct continuity with the elements of the bracelet.

The black dial features an elegant sunburst pattern composed of fine, angled lines arranged in a sunburst pattern. This graphic design brings the surface to life as the light shifts and creates a refined contrast with the wide silver circle of the minute track. The trapezoidal applied hour markers, along with the faceted dauphine hands, echo the same angular, architectural design language.

The rigid bracelet is another essential distinguishing feature of this watch. It is formed of long sections of polished steel, punctuated by nail-shaped elements, connected by large semicircular rings reminiscent of stirrups or the joints of a horse’s bit. Articulated links, positioned near the case and clasp, allow the bracelet to naturally conform to the shape of the wrist while retaining its jewelry-like appearance.

The design thus plays on the interplay between the bold geometry of the nail heads—featured on both the bezel and the bracelet—the rounded shape of the stirrups, and the understated elegance of the black dial. More than just a watch, the Gucci Chiodo is worn as a true piece of jewelry, immediately recognizable by its equestrian aesthetic and the sculptural nature of its construction.

It is powered by a quartz movement, displaying hours and minutes. The dial, crown, buckle, and case back are signed Gucci. The case back bears the reference number 122.5, along with its individual serial number 12798937.

In excellent condition and fully serviced, we guarantee the proper functioning of this watch for one year (except in cases of impact or submersion). This watch shows some visible signs of wear on the polished parts, consistent with its age and use, without detracting from the strength or elegance of its design.
