A classic: something that will last forever. The Original: a classic in both design and material.

The use of futuristic materials such as scratchproof sapphire crystal and scratchproof hard metal to ensure that the iconic beauty will last forever. A unique combination of design and technology that defines Rado’s philosophy.
