A distinguished example from Piaget's golden age of ultra-thin watchmaking, the 9572A6 represents the Swiss manufacturer's mastery of decadent watches during the 1970s.
The distinctive TV-style case captures one of the era's most emblematic design signatures. In the Disco Era, the rise of square and cushion-shaped movements liberated designers from round-cased conventions. As a result, watchmakers embraced bold, futuristic silhouettes that echoed the proportions of cathode-ray tube television sets. Piaget was the epitome of cool, luxury and was the watch of choice for the creative elite as well as the slick, playboys of the day. They were the finest examples of the mariage between haute joaillerie and watch making.
Piaget's manic pursuit of ultra-thin calibers culminated in the creation of calibers 9P in 1957, measuring just 2mm thick. This technological achievement enabled the creation of exceptionally refined dress watches that became synonymous with sophistication and technical excellence.
Featuring a textured, 18k gold bracelet and a matching textured gold dial, this watch is a masterpiece of luxury that captures both Piaget's finest era and the distinctive television-inspired case aesthetic that defined 1970s watchmaking in exceptional preservation.
