According to the Archives of Piaget, the present watch was manufactured in 1972
The present timepiece is breathtaking and preserved in exceptional condition. This striking gold, coral and onyx-set bracelet watch with a wonderful and flawless coral dial is without doubt a masterpiece of Piaget’s 1970s production.
Propelled by the incredible creative momentum of the period, Piaget raised hard stones to the rank of precious stones. The brand soon grasped the value of using these materials and immediately mastered the necessary production skills. Colour became the hallmark of the brand: jade, coral, lapis lazuli, tiger's eye, turquoise. Over 30 different stones were to adorn a stunning array of exceptional models, their interaction with light, inclusions and subtle nuances giving a unique character to each creation. Piaget created astonishing graphic effects by combining various hard stones.
