About the Item

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating on other online sites. 1970's PIAGET Ladies Vintage Backwind Bracelet Watch - 18K White Gold Gorgeous Original Condition - Pleasing & Wide Bracelet - 1 Year Warranty Piaget is one of the hottest brands of the year, and we've proud to offer this exceptional example, alongside several other special Piagets in our carefully curated collection. Today's offering showcases this rare, beautiful, and very refined ladies Piaget "joaillerie" backwinding watch. The elite Swiss firms usually encased their high-end backwind watches in tiny cases, to accentuate the small size of there movements, as I'll write about below, but that's not the case with this watch. It has a pleasingly wide bracelet with presence on the wrist. Hiding inside the case is a miniature masterpiece that showcases incredible watchmaking skills. In a day an age when watches have become bigger and bigger, it's often forgotten that the truest test of elite watchmaking skill is going small. Of the many luxurious ladies watches manufactured during vintage times, the backwind models were usually a company's top-of-the-line mechanical offering for women, often decorated or covered in jewels, and often costing the equivalent of many thousands of dollars or tens of thousands in today's valuation. These watches also possessed a great level of artistic refinement, concealing their winding crowns beneath the case back to avoid disrupting the watch's perfect purity and full symmetry. Much more than just an object d'art, this luxurious accessory also showcased the state-of-the-art in miniaturization technology at the time. Crafted from 18K white gold and exquisitely hand-decorated by Piaget's master jewelers, its case and bracelet radiate elegance and refined taste. Sparing no expense on the details, even the sides of the bracelet are decorated matching the tops to give it greater interest from all angles. Its silver bark textured dial repeats the handwrought design of the case and bracelet and gives the watch a monochromatic style. We were fortunate to acquire this with its original parts, including the tiny screw on the back which is often lost or replaced. Early on in its life this watch had developed an internal flaw that kept it from working properly ended. It ended up being a huge blessing for it - rather than being worn, it appears to have spent nearly all of its life stored away and only worn very carefully with an appreciation for its value and rarity. Its gorgeous, unpolished case is mint. Its textured silver dial is 100% original and untouched, also mint. And its bracelet is just short of perfect mint with the slightest bit of wear to the underside. On the wrist is presents as mint. Three of our Master Watchmakers worked for the last five years restoring the movement of this special watch to breathe new life into it which even included custom fabricating parts to the original factory functional quality and factory quality decorated finish. The final servicing was performed by our Master Watchmaker who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center and has done authorized work for the Cartier Service Center and the Richemont Group, the owners of Piaget (restoration value $1895). Amazingly, despite its small size, after our servicing it is keeping time essentially on par with a new Piaget in our testing recording position. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. Retail price for a comparable new Piaget: Approx. $45,000.00 USD The weight of the watch is approx. 57.1 grams. Our price does not reflect even much of a premium over the gold value of the watch. Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts.

Piaget

In 1874, at age 19, Georges-Édouard Piaget (1855–1931) began manufacturing handmade timepiece components and movements in a workshop on his family farm in La Côte-aux-Fées, Switzerland. The company expanded into luxury wristwatches and pocket watches under the direction of Georges-Édouard’s son, Timothée Piaget. Later, Timothée’s sons, Gérald and Valentin Piaget, would lead a team of talented craftspeople into a new era of innovation for the brand in both watches and luxury jewelry.

The Piaget family name was trademarked in 1943 and a large manufacturing facility was established in La Côte-aux-Fées. There they would perfect one of their signatures: ultra-thin movements. Valentin urged his design team to “do what has never been done before.”

In 1959, the Salon Piaget was opened in Geneva, where Piaget also set up workshops for goldsmithing and gem setting, introducing the company’s inaugural jewelry creations and establishing a creative hub where artisans were encouraged to push the boundaries of their designs. In 1963, Piaget released its first collection of watches with ornamental stones set into their dials (the brand's stone-dial watches are undeniable classics of watchmaking).

These artful creations caught the eye of such storied tastemakers as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Andy Warhol and Sophia Loren. In 1967, Yves Piaget collaborated with Salvador Dalí on a collection with pieces featuring the Dalí d’Or gold medals of the artist and his wife, Gala. Gala would also inspire the 1973 Limelight Gala timepiece and the subsequent collection.

Luxury jewelry designed by the company’s artisans has often cleverly reflected Piaget’s watchmaking origins, like the Possession collection, whose swinging pendants and turning rings nod to the movement of its watches. The Rose and Sunlight collections of bracelets, earrings and necklaces, meanwhile, reflect natural themes with a bit of Art Deco style. Piaget’s watches, likewise, have embodied an inventive approach to design, such as the Piaget Polo watch, which was introduced in 1979, popular for its luxurious refinement and widely imitated in the 1980s.

In 2001, the Piaget Haute Horlogerie was opened outside of Geneva, a facility that advanced its work in watchmaking and jewelry. The Swiss luxury watchmaker and jeweler now operates as part of the Richemont Group.
