Piaget Gouverneur Triple Calendar 15958 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 Gouverneur ref. 15958 that we have here. Featuring an 18kt yellow gold 33.5mm case with a stepped bezel and a perfectly round profile, the Gouverneur embodies everything that has made Piaget’s timepieces so timeless, a thoughtful design and a well-crafted construction. Standing just 8mm thick, which is very impressive for an automatic triple calendar, the Gouverneur builds upon Piaget’s impressive pedigree as a brand known for their thin timepieces. With a grey and white dial featuring four subdials, the Gouverneur is a legibly laid-out watch that embodies Piaget’s elegance and radiates their refined aesthetic in abundance. THE DIAL Featuring a white enamel dial with four grey subdials for the four functions of its triple calendar, the day, date, month, and moonphase, the Gouverneur's display boasts an abundance of elegance. THE CONSTRUCTION Intensely elegant like its dial, the Gouverneur's 33.5mm yellow gold case features a stepped bezel that is directly inspired by the mid-century triple-calendar timepieces that inspired it.
