Lot Essay

According to the Archives of Piaget, the present timepiece, bearing a 9P ultra-thin hand-wound movement, was sold in April 1972.

A very elegant example of such type of necklace watch is illustrated in Montres et Merveilles, 200 créations rares provenant du Musée de l'Horlogerie de Genève et des Collections Privées Piaget, p. 73. These types of watches were intended for a young and avant-garde clientele and were characterized by their asymmetrical shapes, large bracelets and the use of precious stones. The models confirm Piaget's creativity and originality earning it the coveted title of "the jeweller of watch making".
