Founded in 1874 by a young 19-year-old in the village of La Côte-aux-Fées, Piaget was originally nothing but a means for Georges Piaget to earn some extra money as he worked on movements and watches during the winter. After decades of producing watches for other brands, it was not until 1943 that the watchmaker would begin to sign their own watches and develop as the famed watchmaker that they are today. From then on, Piaget began to experiment with ultra-thin watches and push both horological and design boundaries, which eventually led to the brand expanding into jewelry in 1959, perhaps the brand’s best-known avenue today. With their impeccable craftsmanship, audacious style, and dedication to the spectacular, Piaget’s timepieces and jewelry began to coalesce, resulting in timepieces much like the ref. 9203 that we have here. Measuring 25mm in diameter and hosting an incredibly intricate 18k white gold construction, this timepiece is a wonderful synthesis of Piaget’s distinctive exclusivity and rich horological aesthetic. Featuring an intricately woven 18kt white gold bracelet attached to its square-shaped 25mm case, this timepiece is extravagance at its very finest. Boasting gem-set bezel with two rows of diamonds and sapphires surrounding its silver dial, this timepiece’s design and execution is a further continuation of Piaget’s distinctive jeweler’s touch with its impeccable gem-setting craftsmanship and overall beauty.

Watch is in excellent overall condition. The case is has only minor signs of wear, with some marks and scratches visible primarily on the polished surfaces. Bezel is made of baguette sapphires and an inner brilliant diamond bezel. The original dial has some minor wear on the edges and some oxidation visible on the applied indexes. The woven bracelet fits an approx 6 3/4" wrist.

Showcasing how elegant design and incredible craftsmanship can combine to create a wonderfully unique watch, this ref. 9203 is a great reminder of how Piaget has been able to grow into the watchmaker and jeweler it has today in what is a relatively short period of time, respective of others in the industry.
