Piaget was born in Switzerland in 1874 as a producer of fine watch movements before releasing its own line of timepieces in the early 1900s. The house gained fame for producing ultra-thin movements as well as alluring curiosities such as coin and brooch watches.
In this stunning vintage cocktail watch by Piaget we have the successful, captivating marriage of diamonds and gold.
The minimalist, seductively elegant champagne-colored dial displays applied diamond markers upon the hour. Simply telling the time has never been so luxurious.
Note how the bezel is lovingly set with 36 brilliant-cut diamonds (totaling about 0.70 carats). Here we have a veritable crown of twinkling beauty that wraps the dial in inviting style.
The keen observer will notice the sleek, discreet size of the 18K yellow / white gold case, which measures a remarkably comfortable 24 mm in diameter and an amazingly slim height of 5.5 mm.
This svelte case design accommodates the much-celebrated ultra-thin Piaget 9P manually wound movement. With such a phenomenally thin movement and case, it is advised to avoid contact with water.
To add a dash of subtle patterning you'll find the bark-finished style of the 18K yellow / white gold bracelet with closure buckle quite enticing. Additional features include a push / pull winding crown and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
From its vintage stylings to its luxurious adornments, we believe this vintage Cocktail watch by Piaget will make an exquisite addition to your collection.
