Piaget Tank

PIAGET Tank

DATE OF BIRTH : 1980s MATERIAL : Gold and Diamonds on a Leather Strap SIZE : Small MOVEMENT : Quartz CONDITION : Excellent, unpolished BOX : No PAPERS : No A solid eighteen carat yellow gold Piaget Tank with factory diamond set case. The Tank has been made famous as a watch case design by Cartier. But, that has not stopped many other watchmakers from designing their own version of this icon. In this instance we have another Swiss luxury powerhouse, Piaget. Known as the jeweller watchmakers, this stunning example exemplifies why they have this mantle. The stunning and fine rectangle shaped case is studded with micro pavé set brilliant cut white and bright diamonds. Also, many watchmakers, when setting the cases with stones, opt to only do the case sides. Piaget here has topped both the top and bottom of the case as well with a fully diamond set frame around the dial. The dial itself is a beautiful black glossy finish with a chapter ring of exposed gold pearl hour markers lightly chasing around the dial’s edge. The logo is stamped with a gilt print and pops beautifully off the dial. The watch is powered by an ETA quartz movement and is keeping perfect time. The solid gold dauphine hands sweep elegantly across the shiny black expanse of the dial. The watch is in fabulous condition with an unpolished sharp case and is also presented on its original Piaget signed alligator band, along with the iconic “P” logo solid 18k yellow gold buckle. If you are looking for a more exotic version of Cartier’s famed case shape, it is hard to beat this stunning very original example.
