Piaget Emperador 9741 Cushion Shaped Manual Wind Tiger's Eye Dial 18k YG

Founded in 1874 by a young 19-year-old in the village of La Côte-aux-Fées, Piaget was originally nothing but a means for Georges Piaget to earn some extra money as he worked on movements and watches during the winter. After decades of producing watches for other brands, it was not until 1943 that the watchmaker would begin to sign their own watches and develop as the famed watchmaker that they are today. From then on, Piaget began to experiment with ultra-thin watches and push both horological and design boundaries, which eventually led to the brand expanding into jewelry in 1959, perhaps the brand’s best-known avenue today. With their impeccable craftsmanship, audacious style, and dedication to the spectacular, Piaget’s timepieces and jewelry began to coalesce, resulting in timepieces much like the ref. 9741 that we have here. Measuring 29mm in diameter that stands 33mm tall with a rectangular shape with rounded edges and soft corners, the ref. 9741’s 18kt yellow gold case is a wonderful piece of 1970s watch design. Featuring a thin bezel, a golden brown tiger eye stone dial, and hidden lugs, the ref. 9741 wears with an exquisite stance on the wrist as its 5mm thin silhouette hugs the wrist.
