Launched in 2015, the Ralph Lauren RL Automotive Skeleton is the flagship of the collection. Inspired by Ralph Lauren’s own 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe, the watch represents the brand’s first open-worked timepiece.

The Ralph Lauren RL Automotive Skeleton is in many ways a unique sort of offering. While there are automotive and racing themed watches a plenty from more brands than I can count, Ralph Lauren has come out with something that recalls a time when performance and elegance went hand-in-hand, and is unlike anything else out there at the moment.

If there ever was a watch collection inspired by the automobile that really deserves being noted, it is probably the Ralph Lauren collection unveiled in Geneva in 2015. The five models are indeed inspired by the car of cars, the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe dating to 1938.
