Now I don\u2019t want to guess I\u2019ll be 100% correct in my predictions, but it\u2019s always fun to try. And I\u2019ll re-visit this post after the ceremony to show where I was right and where I missed the mark!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ladies\u2019 and Jewellery Watches<\/h2>\n<p>I don\u2019t know nearly as much about ladies and jewellery watches as some, but I\u2019ve been watching the GPHG for a number of years and have spotted a few trends in the vote: The jury tends to pick watches that catch the eye with innovative designs and spectacular finishing, while also focusing on a few popular brands. With that in mind, here are my predictions for the winners in these categories.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ladies\u2019 Watch<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The <strong>Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini Frosted Gold Quartz<\/strong> will win. Yeah it\u2019s got a quartz movement, but my wife at least prefers that. The Royal Oak is a 7-times winner at the GPHG but incredibly no smaller models have taken the prize. AP\u2019s frosted gold is just luscious, making this tiny Royal Oak one of my favorites from the brand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-attachment-id=\"6586\" src=\"https:\/\/grail-watch.com\/2025\/11\/12\/my-predictions-and-picks-for-gphg-2025\/small_gphg2025_audemars_piguet_royaloakminifrostedgoldquartz_001_448f98bace\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Audemars_Piguet_Royaloakminifrostedgoldquartz_001_448f98bace.jpg?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"small_gphg2025_Audemars_Piguet_Royaloakminifrostedgoldquartz_001_448f98bace\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Audemars_Piguet_Royaloakminifrostedgoldquartz_001_448f98bace.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Audemars_Piguet_Royaloakminifrostedgoldquartz_001_448f98bace.jpg?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Audemars_Piguet_Royaloakminifrostedgoldquartz_001_448f98bace.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Audemars_Piguet_Royaloakminifrostedgoldquartz_001_448f98bace.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Audemars_Piguet_Royaloakminifrostedgoldquartz_001_448f98bace.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-attachment-id=\"6588\" src=\"https:\/\/grail-watch.com\/2025\/11\/12\/my-predictions-and-picks-for-gphg-2025\/small_gphg2025_tiffanyand_co_birdonarocklegacytanzanite_001_7e5dc5b66f\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Tiffanyand_Co_Birdonarocklegacytanzanite_001_7e5dc5b66f.jpg?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"small_gphg2025_Tiffanyand_Co_Birdonarocklegacytanzanite_001_7e5dc5b66f\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Tiffanyand_Co_Birdonarocklegacytanzanite_001_7e5dc5b66f.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Tiffanyand_Co_Birdonarocklegacytanzanite_001_7e5dc5b66f.jpg?fit=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Tiffanyand_Co_Birdonarocklegacytanzanite_001_7e5dc5b66f.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Tiffanyand_Co_Birdonarocklegacytanzanite_001_7e5dc5b66f.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grail-watch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/small_gphg2025_Tiffanyand_Co_Birdonarocklegacytanzanite_001_7e5dc5b66f.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>If I was on the jury I would choose the <strong>Tiffany &amp; Co.
