There’s nothing more classic and appealing than a simple dress watch.

Though to be fair, when we say ‘simple’, we mean ‘uncomplicated’ — not unattractive! The 20th century saw a plethora of such watches hit the market. Generally available on leather straps and featuring two or three hands, these reliable wristwatches kept time during the classiest decades of the past 100 years. However, some were more innovative than others.

Take this exquisite piece from Piaget, specialists in ultra-thin watchmaking — it’s as much akin to a piece of jewelry as it is to a more traditional wristwatch.

Housed in a 23mm, 18K white gold case with a fantastic, integrated woven white gold bracelet with a signed hook and lock clasp, this Piaget features a striking lapis lazuli dial with a matching 'dauphine' handset, and the manually-wound Piaget Calibre 9P1 — a venerable movement in the world of ultra-thin watchmaking.

While these beautiful Piaget pieces from the late 20th century went underappreciated for many years, we have recently seen a deserved surge in interest for these avant-garde designs.

Catch this one before it’s gone!
