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 21st 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.

This example from Piaget — specialists in ultra-thin watchmaking — is one such piece that presents with elegance and flair.

It features a 23mm yellow gold octagonal case with a showstopping coral stone dial, as well as an onyx and coral inlaid bezel. Complemented by a matching dauphine handset, the stylized Piaget wordmark, a sapphire cabochon crown and a fantastic integrated woven yellow gold bracelet with a signed hook-and-lock clasp, this piece is an absolute stunner!

Powered by an ultra-thin, manual-winding Calibre 9P1, it perfectly encapsulates an era of experimental watchmaking that gave birth to lasting case and dial designs.

Highly coveted, Piaget's wares are innovative and beautiful — none more so than this striking piece from the 1980s. Snag it before someone else has the same idea!
