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: seamlessly machined such that there’s no perceivable break from watch head to bracelet, it’s as much akin to a piece of jewelry as it is to a more traditional wristwatch.

Housed in a 18k yellow gold steel case paired to a fantastic, integrated basketweave-texture bracelet with a signed clasp, this Piaget features a bold, multi-colored opal dial with a yellow gold 'dauphine' handset, an acrylic crystal, and a signature manually-wound movement within. This piece has also replaced the conventional flat bezel aesthetic found on most Piagets of this variety with an elevated, round-cut diamond bezel segmented by white gold settings. Inside beats a hand-wound movement.

Imagine the looks of curiosity — and envy! — that you’ll stir up when rocking this bold Piaget at a cocktail party. With its eye-catching design, fascinating dial, and awesome bracelet, this is a standout timepiece appropriate for virtually any wrist. It's also, given its natural stone dial, somewhat unique, which is part of the charm of so many of Piaget’s late-20th century watch designs.

While such pieces went under-appreciated for many years, we have recently seen a well-deserved surge in interest for these avant-garde designs.
