The Legacy Behind the Rado Florence Collection
The Florence collection pays tribute to the city of Florence, Italy—a place where Renaissance art, architecture, and culture have flourished for centuries. Much like the city’s harmonious balance between form and function, the Rado Florence Automatic embodies timeless beauty and lasting quality.
With its smooth, round silhouette, finely detailed dial, and impeccable craftsmanship, this watch draws inspiration from Florence’s architectural symmetry and artistic elegance. It’s a timepiece that is not bound to a single season—it’s designed to remain stylish and relevant for decades.
Rado’s history of innovation complements this timeless design language. Known as the “Master of Materials,” Rado has pioneered the use of scratch-resistant ceramics, sapphire crystal, and high-tech finishes that maintain their beauty over years of wear.
First Impressions: The Design & Aesthetic Appeal
From the moment you lay eyes on the Rado Florence Automatic R48903153, it exudes refinement. Every element has been thoughtfully crafted to achieve both visual harmony and everyday wearability.
Case and Crystal
The watch features a 39mm stainless steel case—an ideal size for both comfort and presence. Its clean, polished surfaces capture the light elegantly without overpowering the wrist. The case is topped with an edge-to-edge sapphire crystal with a black metallized edge, creating a seamless flow from the case to the dial. This design detail gives the watch a contemporary feel while maintaining its classical proportions.
Dial Details
The black dial is a work of art on its own. It’s embossed with a subtle texture that catches the light, adding depth and sophistication. The rhodium-colored applied indexes stand out crisply against the dark background, ensuring excellent legibility. The hands, also in rhodium tone, maintain visual consistency and add a layer of understated luxury.
A hallmark of Rado’s automatic watches, the rotating anchor symbol is prominently displayed at 12 o’clock—a nod to the brand’s heritage and mechanical prowess.
Bracelet and Clasp
The stainless steel bracelet alternates between brushed and polished links, striking the perfect balance between shine and subtlety. It’s secured with a three-fold clasp, ensuring both safety and comfort. The bracelet’s smooth integration into the case enhances the watch’s sleek profile.
Inside the Movement: Swiss Precision at Its Finest
While the Florence Automatic captivates visually, its inner workings are equally impressive. Powering this timepiece is the Swiss Automatic R763 calibre, a movement known for its accuracy, durability, and advanced features.
Key Features of the Movement
-

The movement is visible through the transparent sapphire case back, allowing you to appreciate the intricate mechanics in action. For watch enthusiasts, this is more than a functional element—it’s a piece of horological artistry.

-
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal: Protects the dial from everyday wear.
-
