Piaget Asymmetric - Tiger Eye Dial Yellow Gold Integrated

Details

Piaget When They Were Taking A Radical Approach To Design

The Asymmetric line sits far outside Piaget’s already unconventional 1970s output. Nothing here is meant to feel balanced in the traditional sense. The case is intentionally offset, the bracelet flows in one direction, and the watch reads more like a design object than a conventional timepiece. It's compact, but the integrated bracelet gives it presence far beyond the measurement.

Why This Configuration Matters

Piaget used stone dials sparingly, and tiger eye was never a forgiving material. This is a particularly strong cut with pronounced striping and depth which adds an extra layer at a glance. The integrated 18k yellow gold bracelet is just as important. It completes the asymmetrical design and gives the watch its flow. These bracelets are often heavily worn or stretched. This one remains in very good shape for its age, which matters more than cosmetic perfection. Manual wind keeps the case slim and preserves the proportions Piaget was chasing with this design.

What You Need To Know Before Wearing It

Condition is good overall. The case and crystal are in good condition. The bracelet is in very good shape. The movement is running well. The tiger eye dial has visible cracking, which is noticeable only upon close inspection. 

Why This Watch Still Holds Weight

This is a piece you can confidently wear without fear of a large financial loss after one bump. It works for someone who values design history and material rarity. It's a bold, uncommon Piaget that tells its story honestly and is increasingly difficult to find at all, let alone with this beautiful dial.

History

Georges Edouard Piaget founded his manufactory in La Côte-aux-Fées in 1874, and for decades the company's reputation rested on its ability to produce movements of exceptional thinness — calibers that other high houses bought and put in their own watches. When Piaget began producing watches under its own name in the late 1950s and 1960s, it brought that ultra-thin expertise directly to the dial.

The Altiplano is Piaget's flagship ultra-thin collection, a direct expression of that founding expertise. The Grenade is a bold gem-set cocktail watch — all pave diamonds, colored stones, and sculptural bezels — occupying the space between watch and jewel without apology. The Limelight Gala, produced from the 2010s onward, is the modern heir to that cocktail tradition: an 18-karat white gold round case set with diamonds, a slim quartz movement, and a leather strap. All three collections reflect the same dual mastery that Piaget has always commanded: the thinnest movements in the world, in cases worth wearing.
