For most of its existence, Piaget operated quietly behind the proverbial horology curtain, producing some of the most lauded mechanical movements in Switzerland.
But when the Piaget name was displayed on the dial, the brand embodied a distinguishable lavish style that became synonymous with a period of opulence, representative of the American dream in the 1960s and 70s, as well as those wore it –– Andy Warhol, Roger Moore, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elvis Presley, and many more.
This particular Piaget, a Reference 9200, calls back to that era and features a 25mm, 18k white gold square case with ‘hobnail’ textured and lapis-inlaid bezel. The dial, also clad in lapis, features a matching ‘dauphine’ handset and the stylized Piaget signature positioned at the dial’s center. It is appropriately fitted to a black leather strap and is powered by a manual-winding movement.
Piaget is regarded as a master of ultra-thin watchmaking, and this piece joins that expertise with fine haute-joaillerie acumen.
Chef's kiss.
