Piaget ref. 9131 N17 - The Cascade
Discovered circa 1965, this timepiece features an idiosyncratic yet ethereal bracelet, crafted in 18k yellow gold with a comforting 23.5mm diameter. More than a watch, it’s a halo on the arm—an elegant golden sheath that envelops the wrist, hiding a secret: the ultra-thin Calibre 9P2 hand-wound movement. The watch's soft curves mirror the graceful rotation of planetary axes, silently spinning in the vastness of space.
The Piaget ref. 9131 N17 is not just a timepiece that landed on Earth one day—it is an embodiment of the delicate dance between shadow and light. And it captures Piaget’s mastery in both watchmaking and design.
