Piaget, Pocket Watch with Chain, 1970's, yellow gold

A refined example of classic Swiss dress watchmaking, this Piaget pocket watch model exemplifies the Maison’s timeless elegance and expertise in ultra-thin calibres. The present watch harmoniously blends refined aesthetics with Piaget’s historic technical achievements.

The 42 mm textured 18K gold case is distinguished by its finely executed surface and elegant proportions, presenting a presence that is both gracious and dignified on the wrist. Accompanied by a matching 18K gold watch chain, the ensemble underscores the refined style characteristic of gentleman’s dress watches of the 1970s, when Piaget was widely regarded as a master of ultra-thin mechanical timepieces.

The dial features a rare and captivating green jade surface, whose natural tones and unique pattern bring depth and organic character to the design. Complementing the dial are alpha-style gold hands, providing crisp legibility while maintaining the watch’s understated elegance.

Powering the watch is Piaget’s legendary Calibre 9P, a manual-winding movement launched in 1957 with a remarkable thickness of only 2 mm. This ultra-flat movement established Piaget’s reputation for slender watchmaking and opened the door to experimental dial materials and refined case designs.

Preserved in very good condition with a textured gold case that shows a desirable patina, this example eloquently expresses Piaget’s unique combination of Haute Horlogerie and classic dress watch refinement.
