Exemplifying Piaget’s mastery of haute horlogerie and avant-garde design, this remarkable dual-time wristwatch is a striking fusion of elegance and functionality. Housed in an exquisitely textured white gold case with a hand-hammered like finish, its softly curved, cushion-shaped silhouette evokes the bold creativity of the 1970s while maintaining an air of refined sophistication. The deep black onyx dial is adorned with two offset subsidiary dials, each displaying an independent time zone—one with classic Roman numerals, the other with minimalist baton indices and roman quarters. This asymmetrical arrangement, coupled with the elegantly thin white gold hands, creates a compelling sense of visual harmony. Two discreet crowns, symmetrically positioned on either side of the case, further underscore the watch’s commitment to seamless dual-time functionality. The present wristwatch encapsulates Piaget’s dedication to both technical ingenuity and artistic expression. A rare find for the discerning collector, this timepiece is not only a tribute to the maison’s rich horological heritage but also a statement of timeless style.
