Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Possession collection has always occupied a particular place in Piaget's output — jewellery-making instincts applied directly to the wrist, with the watchmaking subordinated to the object rather than the other way around. That logic is plain here: the 18ct rose gold case, the diamond hour markers set flush into the silver dial, and the alligator strap in a matching rose gold tone read as a coherent piece rather than a dial mounted on a generic chassis. At 34mm the proportions suit a wrist that wants presence without bulk, and the smooth bezel keeps the silhouette clean — no fluted edge or engraving to interrupt the curve of the case.

Learn more about Piaget
Georges Piaget set up a workshop on the family farm in La Côte-aux-Fées in 1874, producing movements for other houses. The name did not appear on dials until 1943, and the decision that defined the company came a decade later.
In 1957 Piaget released the calibre 9P, a hand-wound movement two millimetres thick. The 12P automatic followed in 1960 at 2.3mm, then the thinnest automatic in the world. Thinness became the house obsession and its competitive territory, pursued through decades of records and continuing in the Altiplano line — including complete watches, case and all, under four millimetres.
Extreme thinness forced Piaget into a distinctive aesthetic. There was no room for conventional dials, so the company used hardstone: lapis, opal, turquoise, tiger's eye. The 1960s and 70s cuff watches, with woven gold bracelets and gem-set bezels, made Piaget as much a jeweller as a watchmaker, and the Polo of 1979 gave it an integrated gold sports watch of its own.
The company remained family-run until 1988, when it was acquired by Cartier — later folded into Richemont — and it continues to manufacture ultra-thin calibres at La Côte-aux-Fées while assembling and gem-setting in Geneva.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 34mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
