Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the watch features a slim 24mm x 28mm case measuring just 4.5mm thick and is fitted to an integrated 18k yellow gold mesh bracelet with a Piaget signed folding clasp and safety catch. The undeniable highlight is the stunning blue dial, which is double signed by both Piaget and Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels, indicating the watch was originally retailed through the prestigious jewelry house. Such retailer-signed dials are highly sought after by collectors, representing a unique intersection between two of the most respected names in Swiss luxury and fine jewelry.
