Long before Piaget became synonymous with refined timepieces, Georges-Édouard Piaget was crafting his first watches in 1874 from a modest workshop on his family farm in La Côte-aux-Fées, deep in the Swiss Jura. From this serene village in Neuchâtel, he set the foundation for a tradition of meticulous pocket watches and high-precision movements.
This watch is a remarkable survivor, virtually unworn and preserved in near-mint condition. Its case and dial feature an exceptionally rare bark-textured finish, while the solid 18k gold buckle adds a final note of refinement. Together, these elements make it a truly exceptional piece for any collector.
The 9P1 caliber was revolutionary for two key reasons. At just 2mm thick, it became the thinnest manual-wound movement ever made for wristwatches at that time.
CONDITION
This watch is in unpolished mint condition, very sharp on the edges, and the dial is near flawless.
The watch has just been serviced.
