The present Piaget reference 9850 D 72 is a very recognizable piece made by the brand, as one of the same models was sold in the Elizabeth Taylor collection.
The bracelet design is very elaborate, with a wide band of overlapping gold textured circles. The dial is of green hard stone malachite with gold quarter hour markers and gold hands.
The works of Piaget are second to none and remain to be collectible works of art. The present example is in excellent condition, and is not only a sculpture like work of art, but equally a contemporary piece of horology, in spite of being designed over 40 years ago.
Creativity, audacity and know-how are the values that gave Piaget its international reputation and allowed the brand to distinguish itself in the world of fine watchmaking and precision. Founder Georges Edouard Piaget established the company in 1874 and manufactured watch movements. While Piaget is famously recognized today for their elaborate wristwatch and bangle designs, they also mastered the marriage of their high-quality, in-house-produced wristwatches and stunning pieces of jewelry.
Collectors consider the 1970s as Piaget's era of superb creativity and unbounded designs. During this highly creative period, the brand designed an impressive range of cuff and bracelet watches carved in gold and adorned with exotic hard stones. Admired by most as not only jewelry but also true works of art, the firm's hard stone dial watches remain the most iconic, recognizable and desirable among collectors.
