Piaget Gold Hobnail Reference 13409 Automatic Wristwatch in 18K Unpolished

This cushion-cased Piaget is a very refined and elegant dress watch and certainly a stylish timepiece for those who appreciate designs outside of the mainstream. When it comes to the automatic models, there is so much to appreciate. Certainly worth pointing out are the case shapes. Some designs are wider, giving a distinct cuff-like look on the wrist. More often found in precious metal, these watches are a bit of an exception to my preference for tan and non-exotic leathers. The watches benefit from a chunky gold bracelet or a rich-textured strap. This cushion-cased Piaget reference 13409 is a phenomenal example. The dial and case feature a Clous de Paris texture that is very enjoyable at different angles. Hobnail cases like these are less often found with over-polished cases, as if the texture acted as a deterrent for jewelers to do their worst. As a result, you can see the crisp hallmarks throughout the case. The applied-hour markers feature thick geometric angles that are almost reminiscent of Schröder's stairs when you study them closely.

The 18K yellow gold case is unpolished. There are a few minor marks on the crystal. The watch measures 34mm in diameter. It is powered by the calibre 12P.
