A bit of gold from the early '90s to the early 2000s.
And rare not in the sense of being valuable, because some of these are still very affordable today, but truly rare in terms of how few were actually made
In my opinion, a very beautiful Parmigiani chronograph. One of the very first series ever produced (and yes, you might be thinking — 'didn’t those come with a different dial?' You're right — but I actually have both this dial and the original. The previous owner also purchased a later (second-generation) dial, which is the one currently installed).
And staying with the same brand — the 8 Days Ionica. A difficult piece to photograph, but such a stylish and sublimely finished watch. The case, the dial, and of course in this case, the movement — all far superior to what many competitors were offering between 1998 and, let’s say, 2003.
Ebel — the Worldtimer 'Voyager'. You’ll find plenty of these in stainless steel, but the full gold version is a lot rarer. Full gold and an enamel champlevé dial... pretty rare indeed 
This one is nr '0x' — I’ve hidden the last digit 
Zenith — certainly far from rare in general, but the 'Bologna' series, made exclusively for the Italian market, is a different story. It’s a rare line. If you want to know more, just Google 'Zenith Bologna'.
And to be honest, in this configuration (case shape, bezel), I don’t believe there are more than 10 in existence
There’s a name engraved on it — 'Ferrero'. I would’ve preferred otherwise, but it is what it is... maybe from the Nutella family.
I made the first name invisible
Svend Andersen, known among other things for his worldtimers. Here is the Worldtimer Chrono, made in several versions, a total of 51 pieces. Thirty are relatively standard, and then there are three series of seven each (with more colorful dials). The base movement is a Lemania, which can also be found in Omega watches, and the worldtimer module is, of course, what Svend Andersen is famous for.
Another Zenith from the Bologna series, but a different version. Again, no official production numbers, but definitely more than the first one I posted — probably somewhere between a few dozen and 100 in this case.
And another one of the 51 Svend Andersen Worldtimers ever made, but this time from that specific series limited to just 7 pieces. It features a Bordeaux dial. Unfortunately, some of the black paint has worn off the engraved cities on the bezel here and there, but after 30 years, that can happen.
And to finish, another Parmigiani Ionica. No photo of the movement since it’s the same as the rose gold one I already posted. And an exception to the title, because this one isn’t gold — it’s platinum.

Wonderful lineup!
The white dial Andersen and platinum Ionica appeal to me very much. Stunning watches. Best, Emmanuel
