PIAGET BLACK TIE MALACHITE DIAL
A true style icon, instantly recognizable by its signature curved lines, the Black Tie holds a special place in Piaget’s history. Launched in 1972, it quickly captured the attention of watch enthusiasts with its cushion-shaped silhouette and distinctive gadroons along the edge, eventually drawing in the famed Andy Warhol. The artist was captivated by with the model in 1973, choosing a version with an anthracite grey galvanic dial and yellow gold case, powered by the Beta 21 quartz movement. In 2015, Piaget revisited the timeless Black Tie design, making subtle updates while preserving its core identity. The new version featured an automatic movement and a 5-stepped case, with various stone dials, including Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, Meteorite, Jade, and Malachite like the present specimen.
This specimen belongs to the 2015 limited series produced by Piaget to celebrate the history of the Black Tie model. Crafted in very limited numbers, this watch quickly captured the enthusiasm of many Piaget collectors. It is highly sought after by all collectors who were unable to purchase one of the few available at the time. The watch features a white gold case and a stunning malachite dial. It is in new condition, with stickers intact and has never been worn.
The watch comes with original box and papers.
