Soon to be famous Ralph Lauren watch
msimhamb
Thanks for alerting us to a "little known piece" as you say.
There is no question about the movement; Piaget 430P base that used to power many watches from Cartier and still does albeit re-decorated and re-badged as Montres Cartier.
Cartier is trying to use their own tractor movements in all their watches but the ultra-thin Piaget base cannot be denied.
The Ralph Lauren case curves show some flair and I presume wrist comfort follows form.
The combination Roman and Arabic numerals on the dial is distinctive and unusually attractive.
I'm sure that we will hear more about Ralph Lauren watches in the near future!
Regards,
MTF
Quick look at the Ralph Lauren 867 square watch
I've been looking for some time, for a thin (sub 7 mm) rectangular or square watch of classic proportions (dimensions similar to classic Cartier Tank watches). To my surprise, I discovered Cartier has all but abandoned the genre of a thin, modestly sized ...

Re: Soon to be famous Ralph Lauren watch
Thanks, MTF. I have gained so much more from the Purists than I have given. I hope this quick look inspires others to explore this brand.
Wow this offering from RL is impressive!
And congrats on your acquisition! I like the design of the case and dial and the size is classically perfect IMHO I have a Cartier Tank Louis Cartier ultra thin with the same Piaget 430P movement and I always hope it is a tad smaller. This RL is one I wan...
Wonderful report
Thanks for sharing your impressions on this less written about watch here! RL has to be lauded for going into size ranges that most others fully abandoned and the result is very pleasing.
Congratulations
Congrats on your acquisition. I find the dial has just the right mixture of joy and class; much like the Vacheron Driver is a classy piece but also quite the conversation starter. Wear in the best of health!
A design classic
It is a truly gorgeous watch; one of my favourites. It's been on my wish list for a long time. Enjoy!
Great pick up
It looks very good. I love the dial myself, I went and looked at the Ralph Lauren watches at the AD the other week and they are very nice. Wear it in good health.
