Piaget have a rich history of producing some fine and beautiful watches, which are becoming increasingly sought-after as collectors begin to finally appreciate their quality and value.

This particular example is a "Tank" ref. 9212 from the 1970s in 18k yellow gold with an attractive Clous de Paris or "hobnail" dial and case finish. This elegant, slim watch features Piaget's 9P manual calibre movement. At 23mm wide it is the same as a Cartier Tank Louis, whilst a little longer 34mm, making it very wearable. The aforementioned Cartier equivalent from the same era would be around 3 times the price, making this Piaget - and Piaget as a whole - excellent value for watches both quality and rare.

The watch is a lovely example, with attractive and well-preserved dial, crisp case and Clous de Paris detailing, crisp hallmarks and numbering, and the glass is free of marks. It is twinned to an unsigned green leather strap.
