Piaget, Piaget, "Gold Coin", Yellow Gold Wristwatch with Onyx Dial, Circa 1970s

A refined expression of Piaget's creative spirit during the 1970s, this elegant reference features a sculptural tonneau-shaped case crafted in 18K yellow gold and finished with the maison's distinctive hand-textured decoration. This beautifully executed motif continues onto the original 18K yellow gold Piaget pin buckle, highlighting the brand's attention to detail and creating a harmonious continuity throughout the watch. The deep black onyx dial is enhanced by the applied medallion at 12 o'clock, inspired by the iconic American twenty-dollar gold coin, one of Piaget's signature decorative elements of the period.

Powered by a hand-wound mechanical movement, this watch reflects Piaget's dedication to traditional watchmaking during the height of the Quartz Crisis, when the maison continued to champion mechanical craftsmanship alongside its bold design language. Preserved in excellent overall condition, the richly textured gold surfaces remain crisp, while the onyx dial displays a deep, mirror-like finish that perfectly complements the warmth of the yellow gold case.
