How can you tell if a Piaget watch is real or fake?
1 Answer

To tell if a Piaget watch is real or fake, try winding the crown. On an authentic Piaget timepiece, you should expect to see the hands move smoothly, and the crown should turn easily. Difficult-to-use mechanisms or hands that stick or jump are indications that a timepiece is counterfeit. Also, examine the markings on the back. Most Piaget watches will have a series of numbers related to the model name, metal type and serial number. By cross-referencing these numbers with information published on trusted online resources, you can see if the numbers match the details of your timepiece and fit the Piaget numbering system. If they don't, your watch is unlikely to be real. For help with authentication, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. Explore a collection of Piaget watches on 1stDibs.
