Aston Martin has crafted some achingly beautiful cars over the course of its century-long history, but few can hold a candle to the gorgeous DB4GT. For those with the means, there’s one flawless example coming up for auction next month… and we have just the gear to go with it, too.

The DB series represented a continuous line of development from when David Brown took over the company in 1947, starting with the 2-Litre Sports model (later known as the DB1) that debuted in 1948 through to the DB6 that ceased production in 1970. Each was an evolution of the one that came before until the boxier DBS started afresh and paved the way for the Vantage and V8 models that followed through the 1970s and 80s. But of all of them, the DB4GT was arguably the most beautiful.

It was also one of the most rare: of the 1,204 examples of the DB4 made, only 75 were made in GT spec (plus 19 bodied by Zagato). Of those, a little more than half were right-hand drive, and only three with an extra set of seats in the back. That makes this particular example a rare bird indeed. Little wonder than RM Sotheby’s expects it to fetch between £2,200,000 and £2,500,000 – or roughly $3 million, give or take – when it hits the auction block in London on September 7.

A little too rich for your blood? RM has two other DB4s lined up for the same event, including a DB4 Series V Convertible (valued at approximately £1 million) and a Series II Coupe (for a far more reasonable £500k). Whichever tickles your fancy (or fits your budget), you’re going to need the right gear to go with it. And we have just the right stuff in mind.

British watchmaker Christopher Ward has just come out with a limited-edition version of its C9 timepiece that pays tribute to the DB4 – specifically car number 1 VEV, the DB4GT Zagato that Roy Salvadori drove at Goodwood in 1961. It features a matte black dial with speedometer-style numerals in a 43-millimeter, marine-grade stainless steel case and affixed to the wrist with a Pecari camel leather strap.

But it isn’t just inspired by the legendary Aston – it’s actually made using parts of it. The caseback is made from one of 1 VEV’s aluminum body panels, sourced by TMB Art Metal when the car was undergoing restoration, and laser-cut into the shape of a steering wheel. Like the DB4 GT Zagato, only 19 examples will be made, each priced at £3,995 ($5k).

Got the car and the watch? You’ll also need the right threads, and British clothier Hackett has just announced a new capsule collection specifically for Aston Martin. The 14-piece line includes items of outerwear, knitwear, shirts, trousers and accessories, all of them perfect for driving a classic Aston – or a new one – to wherever the road takes you.
