Piaget

Up for sale is this rare and vintage 18K White Gold & Diamond Ladies' watch made by the iconic Swiss Piaget house. Piaget is renowned for its bracelet style solid gold watches, and this one is a perfect example of such classic timepieces. The white gold watch case and mesh bracelet flow seamlessly into one another. The factory set diamond bezel contains 28 brilliant cut high quality diamonds for a total estimate of 1.68 carat. The dial is kept to its bare minimum: simplistic hour indexes combined with a horizontally brushed dial and blue steel hands create a minimalist watch face. The solid gold hidden clasp wears the "P" logo, and the solid gold case back is securely kept into place by two tiny screws.

Behind said case back is the beating heart of this watch: a mechanical hand-winding Piaget movement with caliber reference P9. Piaget has always made technological innovation as one of its top priorities, and the creation of the 9P ultra-thin hand-wound movement with a thickness of only 2 mm in 1957 was a direct result of that. Thanks to the incorporation of this movement, the watch case can be kept to a thickness of just under 5mm. For such a refined watch, its total weight still adds up to about 60 grams.

The watch is sold as pre-owned and vintage, however it still is in great shape considering its age. One thing to note is the fact that the rhodium coating is wearing off slightly in certain spots on the inside of the bracelet, revealing the yellow gold colour underneath. The diamond at the 7 O' Clock position could be perceived as slightly less shiny when really closely observing the watch. This is due to slight damage to the diamond and its prong setting, and could easily be fixed if desired. Please do study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch has been serviced by an authorised Service Center prior to this sale, and is working perfectly.

Please do note that the clasp has a few small adjustment settings, but the bracelet on this watch is not drastically resizable as far as we're aware. Ideally, it fits wrists with a circumference between 16 and 18 cm.

The watch comes without any paperwork or original box, but evidently we will provide an appropriate box to ship this precious watch to the buyer safe and sound. The item ships from Belgium and will be securely packaged and dispatched using the local postal service (BPost).
