For most of its existence, Piaget has operated quietly behind the proverbial horological curtain, producing some of the most impressively thin mechanical movements in Switzerland and supplying them to numerous other maisons. But when the Piaget name was displayed on the dial, the brand utilized a distinguishable lavish style that became synonymous with a period of design-forward luxurious creations, representative of the American Dream in the 1960s and 70s, and embodied by those wore them –– Andy Warhol, Roger Moore, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elvis Presley, and many more. This particular Piaget, a Protocole Reference 9153, calls back to that era and features a 18k yellow gold case with engraving on the bezel, a mineral crystal and a hidden winding crown embedded in the right side of the case. The gloss white dial features printed ‘Roman’ indices, a matching ‘pencil’ handset and the signature stylized Piaget signature positioned at the dial’s center. It is fitted to a blue pebbled leather strap with matching 18k yellow gold signed logo pin buckle. Powered by a Calibre 9P manual-winding movement. If you’re looking for a thin profile dress piece that makes a bold style statement, then look no further than this beautiful Piaget!
