Description
Georges-Édouard Piaget felt a passion for watchmaking from a young age; in 1874 at only 19, he set up his first workshop on the family farm. Here, he dedicated himself to creating high-precision movements and components. In 1959, the first "Salon Piaget" was launched in Geneva. It was created to be a welcoming place where Piaget could share its creativity and savoir-faire by showing the first of Piaget's luxury jewelry creations alongside refined timepieces. Geneva also became home to Piaget's ateliers that specialized in goldsmithing and gem-setting, meaning the Maison could master every aspect of the production of fine pieces.
This vintage Piaget Galaxy reference 15212 is fitting because this watch has an onyx dial. Named the Galaxy, the juxtaposition between the baguette diamonds and plain space-black dial, seems to represent the dazzling nature and depth of what lies beyond Earth. With an onyx dial, movement with cal. 601 quartz, 3 jewels. 18k yellow gold case, case back secured by 4 screws. 18k yellow gold Piaget bracelet and clasp. Watch size 17mm width. This watch comes with a box.
