Stepping up in Gucci's range
The Model 2000 draws on Gucci's own archive rather than any single founding moment — the name gestures at the house's watch heritage, and the detailing carries that through: shrouded lugs, a fluted crown bearing the Gucci emblem, Roman numerals at three positions only, and an interlocking G in rose gold-tone sitting above the brand name at twelve. The guilloché dial gives the silver surface a fine radial texture that shifts with the light in a way a plain dial does not. At 30mm it is compact without apology, and the pink leather strap keeps the whole thing squarely in jewellery territory. The antireflective coating on the sapphire does useful work here — a decorative watch at this scale is often held closer and at more varied angles than a sports piece, and the coating means the dial stays readable rather than becoming a mirror.

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
Both Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths list it at £1,350, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its highest recorded price. It's ranged between £945 and £1,350, today it's £1,350.
