Piaget Tiger's Eye

About this piece

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: Executed in white gold, this piece has a brilliant ‘tiger’s eye dial, finished to contrast with the clinical white gold aesthetic with a warming effect. The alligator leather strap further accentuates the natural textures of the dial.
