The watch features an oval-shaped 27mm case constructed from 18k yellow gold, characterized by a distinct horizontal tube-style finishing on both the case exterior and the dial surface. The matching yellow gold dial is void of hour markers and includes Dauphine-style hands. The timepiece is fitted with a mineral crystal and a gold-toned winding crown. It is presented on a brown alligator leather strap secured with a signed yellow gold pin buckle. Internally, the watch is powered by a Piaget ultra-thin mechanical hand-wound movement. The information provided is based on data from the seller, including descriptions of the movement and materials.

Object description

Case and Dial Design

The watch features an oval 18k yellow gold case measuring 27mm in diameter. The aesthetic is defined by a distinctive horizontal tube-style or ribbed finish that extends continuously from the case structure across the dial. This textured surface provides a unified appearance, with the dial lacking numerical hour markers or indices.

The dial is equipped with Dauphine-style hands and protected by a mineral crystal. A yellow gold winding crown is integrated into the side of the case to complete the design, which is paired with a brown alligator leather strap and a signed yellow gold pin buckle.
