Gary_g's experience with his Piaget 'Rectangulus' watch highlights a common challenge for collectors of modern vintage pieces: even brand boutiques may lack institutional knowledge of references from just a few decades prior. His post sparks a discussion on the discoverability and recognition of these unique timepieces, underscoring the importance of community knowledge in preserving horological history.

I think it’s pretty rare.

I took it to Piaget and none of the sales associates have ever seen this model. It’s from the early 2000’s.

A situation one finds in many boutiques / ADs…

Knowing one’s history doesn’t seem to be on the cards 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes for sure.

Same happened to my friend at an AP boutique. He was wearing a watch from the 80’s and they didn’t know the reference. Unreal.

Same experience at the South Coast Plaza Chopard boutique several years ago, but at least the sales lady got out some reference manuals to educate herslf....
