How much does a gold watch cost in Canada?+

What does 18K gold mean?+
18K gold is 75% pure gold and 25% other metals. Those metals set the colour and hardness: more copper gives rose gold, while palladium or silver gives white gold. Pure 24K gold is too soft for a watch case, which is why 18K is the standard in fine watchmaking.
What is the difference between a solid gold and a gold-plated watch?+
A solid gold case is gold throughout, so it can be polished and refinished for decades. A gold-plated case has only a thin layer over another metal, which can wear through. The watches on this page are listed with a gold case; each product page gives the karat and colour when the brand specifies it.
What is the difference between rose gold and Sedna™ gold?+
Sedna™ is OMEGA's own 18K rose gold, made with gold, copper and palladium. OMEGA developed it so that its warm colour lasts over time. Moonshine™ is the maison's paler yellow gold, and Canopus™ its white gold. To find Sedna™ pieces, use the case material filter on the watches page.
Are gold watches in stock, and can I try one on?+
Only a small number are in boutiques at a time. Others are available to order, meaning the brand supplies the watch and we order it in for you, and some are currently unavailable. Each product page shows which applies, and a boutique can show you the pieces it holds.
Are your gold watches authentic and under warranty?+
Yes. La Maison Monaco is an authorized dealer for OMEGA, Longines, IWC Schaffhausen, Hublot, Breitling and Zenith, so each watch is new and comes with the brand's warranty. Warranty length varies by brand; any boutique can tell you the terms for the piece you choose.
