CONDITION
Piaget are a bit under the radar, possibly as there customer base is wealthier than most of us – the cheapest new Piaget in gold is £17,300 (steel watches are available from ‘just’ £10,400). Their watches have always been great, imaginative and appeal to the horologist as well as the designer. The movement in this watch is the 9P, which when launched in 1957 was the thinnest watch movement on the market. It is working well The crown is not signed, but neither are the ones in the Piaget books we have showing the same models. The Protocole case has the pinstripe design that helps the light bounce in different directions. The case size is the gentleman’s version, but quite small for modern standards – maybe discrete is a better term. The dial is original and has a few marks of age, mainly around the edges, but overall is good. The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred. The original 14mm wide Piaget buckle, in 18k gold, has been transferred to the new strap.
