Designing a simple watch that stands out from the pack without being outlandish is a formidable task. 

Indeed, most designs come up short. But not so this example from Piaget, makers of some of the world’s best ultra-thin watches: This beauty from the 1970s is that rare design that’s both rooted in the era during which it was conceived, yet forward-thinking enough to remain a fresh choice decades later. 

It features a 23mm x 29mm 18k yellow gold ‘tank’ case with a sapphire cabochon winding crown, a mineral crystal and a classic white dial with printed gold 'Roman' indices and a matching yellow gold tone feuille handset.

Powered by the ultra-thin, hand-wound Calibre 9P movement and paired to a handsome brown leather strap with a signed yellow gold pin buckle, this incredible timepiece is suitable for most wrists and makes for a statement dress watch for the discerning collector.

Horologically interesting and positively beautiful to behold, it checks all the boxes!
