Gucci Play watch, 28mm
Ref. YA151542
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 67 Gucci watches in stock.A 28 mm yellow gold-plated stainless steel case sits at the heart of this compact dress watch, its bangle construction giving it the character of a piece of jewellery as much as a timepiece. The white dial carries the Gucci logo and Interlocking G motif in place of conventional hour markers, keeping the face clean and uncluttered. Seven interchangeable ceramic bezels allow the look to be changed entirely. Sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating sits above, while the rigid bangle fastens with a jewellery-style buckle clasp.

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?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedCheapest place to buy
Mappin & Webb is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
