ÆTERNA D’ORO
Golden. Eternal. Untamed.
Inspiration
Æterna D’Oro is rooted in the carved relics and gilded grandeur of Renaissance Florence. The name translates to “Eternal Gold,” a nod to both its enduring materials and timeless presence. With a rare 1953 Rolex “Ovettone” at its core, this piece blends historic craftsmanship with Dark Triumph defiance—where skulls shimmer in gold, each diamond burns with intention, and every detail honors the sacred act of reinvention.
Collector’s Appeal
