This Piaget ladies' wristwatch, reference 5273, dates to the 1980s and features a white gold construction.

Powering the timepiece is an in-house automatic ultra-thin movement. The watch is presented on a black leather strap signed by the manufacturer, complemented by an 18-karat white gold buckle. The auction description reports the piece is in virtually unworn condition, though no information regarding its service history, maintenance, or water-resistance capabilities is provided.

Case and Dial Design

The watch features an 18-karat white gold case measuring 27mm in diameter. The case design is marked by triple vertical fluting on the bezel, which provides a geometric aesthetic. These vertical lines extend from the case directly into the dial, creating a cohesive visual transition between the exterior and the interior of the timepiece.

The dial features a decorative pattern consisting of vertical matte and glossy pinstripes. It is fitted with Dauphine-style hands and the Piaget signature. The watch is secured with a signed black leather strap and an 18-karat white gold buckle.
