Manual-winding mechanical movement. 18-carat yellow gold case, round, 16 mm in diameter, bezel with radiating reeding broken by four polished gold blocks, cross-hatched case band, winding crown on the caseback. Triangular lugs each set with three diamonds. Champagne dial, applied gold baton indexes, gold hands. Mineral crystal. Black leather strap, 18-carat gold pin buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHorological context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1874 in La Côte-aux-Fées, in the Neuchâtel Jura, by Georges Piaget, the \u003cem\u003emaison\u003c\/em\u003e first supplied movements before signing its own watches under its name in the mid-twentieth century. Piaget made itself the specialist of the ultra-thin: 1957 brought the manual-winding \u003cem\u003e9P\u003c\/em\u003e calibre, two millimetres thick; 1960 the automatic micro-rotor \u003cem\u003e12P\u003c\/em\u003e, then the thinnest in the world at 2.3 mm. Even before those calibres freed the designers, the \u003cem\u003emaison\u003c\/em\u003e was making jewellery watches for women in which the case belongs as much to the jeweller's craft as to the watchmaker's: worked bezels, gem-set lugs, dials reduced to a few millimetres, the winding crown moved to the back so that nothing of it shows. These 1950s pieces open the way to the jewellery production that would make Piaget's name in the decades that followed — hardstone dials, clous de Paris bezels, extremely slim cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bezel and the lugs dominate this jewellery watch, drawing the eye by their size and their respective geometry, the lugs adding the contrast of white gold against yellow. To keep the design pure, the crown sits on the caseback, and nothing interrupts the circle seen from the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServiced. Very good condition with normal wear.
