The Pink Pony Fund is a charitable foundation by Ralph Lauren that is around to fund cancer research. Special Pink Pony collection Ralph Lauren watches and jewelry are released from time to time to benefit the charitable foundation. The newest "watch for charity" is this highly limited edition Ralph Lauren Small Stirrup watch in 18k rose gold with a row of diamonds around the bezel. 100% of the watch proceeds will go to the Pink Pony Fund. So Ralph Lauren isn't making any money off these watches, but at least they can claim a handsome tax write-off.

The Stirrup watch is a newer watch from the (also new) Ralph Lauren watch Co. You can read more about the Stirrup watch here when I first announced them. The Small Stirrup is a lady's version of the piece that is slightly smaller in diameter, and here in rose gold. Because of the Pink Pony connection, the watch has been fitted with a feminine pink colored alligator strap. There are 54 diamonds on the bezel. Inside the watch is a special mechanical manually-wound, movement (Caliber RL430) made for Ralph Lauren by Piaget.

There will only be 5 pieces in this limited edition. One for each of these points of sale:

• New York – 888 Madison
• Beverly Hills – Rodeo Drive
• London – New Bond Street
• Paris – Saint Germain
• Tokyo – Omotesando

Each of the 5 watches will cost $21,500. Ralph Lauren Watches also points out that each of these limited edition Stirrup timepieces will come with a personalized note from Ralph Lauren himself. These watches should be available now.
