Piaget ref. 0902 White Gold Mechanical - c. 1970 (paper and pouch)

The quintessence of Piaget or of luxury. Are they the same thing? Description What exquisite craftsmanship! From the watch itself, of course, but also from the integrated bracelet's intricate meshwork. Entirely in white gold (like the watch, naturally), this bracelet possesses a suppleness that confirms Piaget's unique position, straddling the line between jewelry and watchmaking! The overall harmony of this watch is perfect: the thinness of the bracelet evokes the subtlety of the blue flame hands, which blend wonderfully with the simplicity of the black-painted indices on a white background. How to wear it? Unlike the often extravagant Piaget watches made of precious stones, this one perfectly demonstrates Piaget's ability to create simple, beautiful, and understated timepieces. It's clearly a watch for everyday wear, thanks to the discreetness of the white gold! The case and bracelet are slim, so they aren't too heavy or uncomfortable. The bracelet's suppleness makes this watch exceptionally pleasant to wear. Perhaps the bracelet will need to be cut to fit you perfectly, making this watch YOUR watch forever. Why did Françoise choose her? It's no secret: Françoise greatly appreciates the creations of the House of Piaget. Technique, craftsmanship, design, history—all these elements are something Françoise wants to celebrate. She wants to give Piaget watches the recognition they deserve. While she would love to wear the jewelry from the 1970s—cuffs, sautoirs, and so on—Françoise also appreciates the simpler pieces. Ultimately, it's Piaget: the shapes and materials embody a delicate elegance tinged with subtle extravagance. History Between the late 1950s and the late 1970s, Piaget's style reached its zenith. This was a highly creative period where gold, the sole material used for watches from 1957 onwards, and colors were perfectly harmonized. While Piaget is particularly known for its use of precious stones, it also pioneered the revival of integrated bracelets in the 1970s, with one key idea: to make the bracelet an asset, not just something that "carries" the watch. Piaget's unparalleled mastery of gold allowed it to offer the most supple, the thinnest, and sometimes the most extravagant bracelets!
