Today's offering showcases this very rare and extremely refined ladies Piaget petite backwinding watch.

With a diameter of a only 15.5mm, this miniature masterpiece showcases incredible watchmaking skills. In a day an age when watches have become bigger and bigger, it's often forgotten that the truest test of elite watchmaking skill is going small.

Of the many luxurious ladies watches manufactured during vintage times, the backwind models were usually a company's top-of-the-line mechanical offering for women, often covered in jewels, and often costing the equivalent of many thousands of dollars or tens of thousands in today's valuation. These watches also possessed a great level of artistic refinement, concealing their winding crowns beneath the case back to avoid disrupting the watch's perfect purity and full symmetry.

Much more than just an object d'art, this luxurious jeweled accessory also showcased the state-of-the-art in miniaturization technology at the time.

It would have been quite the statement piece for a very special woman - and now it's available to be a statement piece for you or your loved one.

Crafted from 18K white gold in master jewelers and bejeweled with diamonds, its case embodies elegance and refined taste. The 40 original Piaget perfect factory set diamonds are white, extremely clean, and full of fire as you would expect from a watch of this caliber.

It silver bark textured dial gives the watch a monochromatic style and adds another handwrought texture to the four other that the case and bracelet already showcase.

We were fortunate to acquire this with its original parts down to its original crown and screw for the backwinding movement. It appears to have spent nearly all of its life stored away and only worn very carefully with an appreciation for its value and rarity.

A period correct 18K white gold bracelet that complements the watch well has been previously integrated into the case.

Its gorgeous, unpolished case is mint. Its bark textured silver dial is 100% original and untouched, also mint. And its bracelet is just short of mint.

One of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components including the cannon pinion and center wheel with correct Piaget replacements, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $995 value).

Amazingly, despite its small size, after our servicing it is running extremely strong and true, keeping time virtually on par with a new Piaget in our testing recording position.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
