Piaget 'Onyx' Diamond Dress Watch

€9,818.99

Description

There’s nothing more classic and appealing than a simple dress watch. Though to be fair, when we say ‘simple’, we mean ‘uncomplicated’ — not unattractive! The 20th century saw a plethora of such watches hit the market. Generally available on leather straps and featuring two or three hands, these reliable wristwatches kept time during the classiest decades of the past 100 years. However, some were more innovative than others. Take this exquisite piece from Piaget, specialists in ultra-thin watchmaking: it’s as much akin to a piece of jewelry as it is to a more traditional wristwatch. Housed in a 18K white gold case with a fantastic diamond-set bezel and onyx dial, this Piaget possesses a striking presence unlike any other piece. To complement the eye-catching dial and bezel, this watch features a 18K white gold integrated bracelet with 'bark' texturing. This watch is powered by a manually-wound movement, and measures a svelte 6mm in thickness. Calling back to an Art Deco styling, this piece bears an extra flair and glimmer that its round siblings do not possess. While these beautiful Piaget pieces from the late 20th century went under-appreciated for many years, we have recently seen a deserved surge in interest for these avant-garde designs. Catch this one before it’s gone!
