Piaget Rectangular 18k Hobnail 1970s

Piaget Rectangular 18k Hobnail 1970sLaunched in 1957, the 9P caliber was groundbreaking for 2 reasons: standing at 2 mm, it was the thinnest manual wound movement ever made for wristwatches, and its 20. 5 mm diameter was much larger than the standard, therefore allowing for larger cases. Its slimness was not only a technical accomplishment, it also allowed the manufacture to fit dials made of hard stones while retaining a thin profile. This Piaget features a 18k white gold dial and case

32 mm 18k yellow gold Vacheron Constantin Calatrava from the 1950s

22 mm (without crown) / 38 mm (lug-to-lug) / 20 mm (between lugs)

The case has the correct winding crown without the logo

3- body 14k yellow gold case with snap-on case back

black steel hands

Our reference is even more rare because of the Florentine finished case and a pie pan dial with so called „cigarette boat“ hands which were only used in 1963/64 on Day-Dates

double signed by the Italian Dealer Astrua Torino

leather strap and 18k rose gold Patek Philippe buckle

In a big 37 mm case which is considered oversized for the era

Here we have a beautifully finished Audemars Piguet rectangular dress watch with clean black dial from the 1970s
