This item is valued as scrap materials

kirkdj,

There was no specific model name from that decade in Piaget history. Descriptive words would have stated the gender, materials used viz. gold, diamonds (carat, cut, colour, clarity), metalwork pattern and watch size.

This item is currently valued as scrap material because without restoration, it is neither a complete watch nor jewelry.

The watch does not work.

The watch-glass is missing.

The dial is damaged.

The gem stones are loose and the settings damaged.

CONCERNS

One concern is your description as 14K gold because Piaget does not usually make 'high jewelry watch' with 14K gold.

Piaget is also known for the baton hour markings on their dials rather than dots.

See other examples of Piaget Secret Watches for finger and wrist but in 18K gold.....

Regards,

MTF

Piaget Secret Ring watch

By: MTF : January 11th, 2013-18:59

kirkdj, That appears to be a Piaget Secret Ring watch. I am not sure if that is a Milanese or Parisienne weave. It may be a whille before information comes out of Piaget because the annual trade show SIHH is next week and all resources are devoted to it. ...

Dear kirkdj, The watch shown CANNOT BE AUTHENTICATED by Piaget. The history department recognised your images from a set of 8 photos they also received in 2011. We tracked down the retired Piaget sales director who worked for 40 years on secret watches an...

We are had an appraiser look at the watch, he determined it has 1 oz. of pure gold, 1.5 kts. Of high quality diamonds (he mentioned VS F & G grades), but I might not have that info correct, he said a few of the diamonds were of lesser quality because they...

By: kirkdj : February 8th, 2013-11:39

MTF, As it turns out you were pretty much correct, the appraiser took the watch to his jeweler and he confirmed the time piece was a 17 jewel Elgin 902 movement....with Piaget on the dial....basically an expensive knockoff! The jeweler discovered the back...

A non-Piaget but still family keepsake

By: MTF : February 11th, 2013-07:50

Kirkdj, Good that you got the confirmation and the repair is not serious. Still a family keepsake. The clue is the "Victorian" style; even if late Victorian is too early for the current Piaget company as they did not label their family name until 1942. Th...
