1970s Tank Tiger’s-Eye 18k Gold

An expressive example of Piaget's dress watches from the 1970s, crafted in 18k yellow gold with an elongated rectangular case and a striking natural tiger's-eye dial. The smooth, rounded case edges frame the stone's rich brown and golden bands, which run horizontally across the dial, contrasting with the vertical proportions of the watch.

The dial is kept deliberately minimal, with slender gold dauphine hands allowing the natural variations of the tiger's-eye to take centre stage. The Piaget signature and Swiss designation, originally printed in gold, have faded with age but remain faintly visible.

Powered by Piaget's celebrated ultra-thin caliber 9P manual-wind movement, the watch measures just 5mm thick. It is fitted with a custom dark brown Vachetta leather strap and secured by a Piaget 18k yellow gold tang buckle. A distinctive combination of natural stone, warm gold, and Piaget's characteristically slim watchmaking.
