Built when Piaget was still a family owned and run company creating only a relatively small number of high grade watches, it is both ultra-luxurious and very fine.
It has a distinctive Piaget look with opulent 18K gold case and original semi-precious stone Tiger Eye dial. It has previously been aftermarket set with 118 brilliant diamonds, and they have been set in a way suggestive of the elegant "Top Hat" style that is one of the very pleasing vintage designs.
Built from solid 18K gold, the slim case not only possesses elegance and class, it also serves as a fitting housing for one of the thinnest movements ever made, Piaget's award-winning 9P series high grade movement.
Its renowned movement, one of the world's first ultra-thin wristwatch movements, measures a mere 2.15mm thick - less than the thickness of a US half-dollar! Despite its small size, it sacrifices nothing in performance, having earned a reputation as one of the most refined and reliable mechanisms on the supreme level of fine watchmaking.
It presents beautifully on the wrist. The case presents as just short of mint condition. The stunning Tiger Eye dial presents as just short of mint. When it's disassembled it can be seen that it has a couple of cracks, but they're difficult to see when assembled unless scrutinized. And its original removable Piaget bracelet presents as just short of mint.
The gold content of the case and bracelet are approximately 60 grams.
Our watchmaker has fully disassembled the watch down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. For the finishing touch we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
