Gucci Horsebit watch, 27x25mm
Ref. YA168501
Sits in Gucci’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Gucci watches we list, which start at £499.
Price range £499 to £8,130 across 51 Gucci watches in stock.The Horsebit has been central to Gucci's visual language since the 1950s, when it migrated from bridle hardware to bags, shoes and eventually the wrist. This piece belongs to the YA168 family, a distinct generation from earlier Horsebit references, and its premise is straightforward: dissolve the boundary between watch and bracelet by rebuilding the Horsebit's signature curves as the links themselves. At 27 by 25mm the case sits small and close, reading as an accessory before it reads as a timepiece. The black dial keeps the face recessive, so the polished bracelet does the work — and the synthetic corundum set into the crown is the kind of detail that registers only when you look for it, then seems obvious once found.
