Piaget Yellow Gold Diamond-Set Dress Watch

There’s nothing more classic and appealing than a simple dress watch.To be clear, when we say “simple,” we mean “uncluttered and uncomplicated” — not unattractive!

The latter half of the 20th century saw a plethora of such watches hit the market. Generally fitted with leather straps and featuring two or three hands, these reliable wristwatches kept time during the classiest decades of the past 100 years. Some, however, were more innovative than others.

Take this exquisite Reference 41535 from Piaget, specialists in ultra-thin watchmaking. The design is executed in such a way that there’s no perceivable break from watch case to strap, resulting in a wearing experience that as much akin to a piece of jewelry as it is a more traditional wristwatch.

Its 20mm, yellow gold rectangular 'tank' case features diamond-set brancards a champagne sunburst dial with matching 'dauphine' handset, a thin profile Piaget manual winding movement, and is fitted to signed black leather alligator strap with a signed yellow gold pin buckle.

 

In virtually New Old Stock, unworn condition when we found it, we treated it to a full mechanical overhaul - making this stunning vintage time-capsule ready to finally have its moment on wrist, ready to dazzle!

 

Piaget is perhaps the foremost player in ultra-thin watches and watch movements in the world. Established in 1874 in Geneva and currently under the Richemont Group umbrella, the maison began producing wristwatch movements in 1911, manufacturing the Calibre 9P, its first ultra-thin, hand-wound mechanical movement, in 1957.

In 1960, Piaget released the Calibre 12P, the thinnest automatic movement in the world at the time, at just 2.3mm. It fitted many of its miniature movements into innovative timepieces hidden in coins, brooches, and cufflinks, becoming known equally for its jewelry.

The Piaget Altiplano Ultimate, released as a concept in 2018, became a full production model in 2020. At just 2mm thick, it took the record for thinnest watch on Earth. Today, Piaget continues to innovate in the realm of ultra-thin watchmaking, creating ultra-thin tourbillons, retrograde movements, and more.
