Piaget Possession 29mm Quartz Ladies Watch
Ref. G0A44086
The Possession line began as a jewellery collection before it became a watch collection, and that order of priorities is still visible in how this piece is designed. The defining feature is a diamond-set bezel that rotates freely around the dial — a direct carry-over from Piaget's spinning-ring bracelets, where the movement of the ring was the point. Wearing it, you can turn the bezel with a fingertip, which is either a quiet fidget or a small piece of theatre depending on your mood. At 7.47mm thick in solid 18-carat rose gold, the case sits almost completely flat against the wrist, and the cherry-pink alligator strap — interchangeable without tools — keeps the whole thing feeling light despite the materials. The dial drops conventional hour markers in favour of eleven diamond dots, leaving the cerise lacquer to carry most of the visual weight. The result reads more clearly as jewellery set to a schedule than as a watch that happens to be pretty.

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
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
Cheapest place to buy
Both Goldsmiths and Mappin & Webb list it at £10,500, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
