Gucci's signature colored stripes, just one of the house motifs that have appeared in Alessandro Michele's magpie looks in recent seasons, have made their way onto the luminous mother-of-pearl dials on its G-Frame collection, like the 21-millimeter-by-34-millimeter rectangular design ($1,450) with a red, white and navy stripe dial, set on a tan leather strap.
