Gucci G-Timeless watch, 38mm
Ref. YA1264190
Sits in Gucci’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Gucci watches we list, which start at £359.
Price range £359 to £8,130 across 71 Gucci watches in stock.The bee has been part of Gucci's symbolic language since Alessandro Michele drew it back into the house's vocabulary, and here it does the work that hour markers would otherwise do — twelve individual bees arranged around a sunbrushed silver dial, each one a small piece of goldsmithing rather than a printed index. The case is recycled stainless steel, which sits quietly in the background while the dial takes the attention it deserves. At 38mm the watch sits comfortably on a range of wrists without committing to a gender, and the exhibition caseback — etched with a further bee in gold over the movement — gives the automatic mechanism somewhere to be seen. The sunray finish on the dial shifts between flat silver and something warmer depending on the angle, which means the bees catch the light at different moments through the day rather than all at once.

Learn more about Gucci
Guccio Gucci opened a leather goods shop in Florence in 1921, and the house became one of the defining Italian luxury brands of the twentieth century.
Gucci's watches occupy unusual ground. Unlike most fashion houses, Gucci produces in Switzerland through its own facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and the watches carry Swiss Made designation. The G-Timeless line uses Swiss quartz and automatic movements, and recent references have included in-house-adjacent complications.
The design language is unmistakably Gucci — the green-red-green web stripe, the interlocking Gs, bee and snake motifs — applied to cases that are generally well proportioned. It sits above the licensed-fashion category without claiming to compete with the Swiss manufactures.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedCheapest place to buy
Both Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths list it at £1,540, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
