Bark-Finished Brilliance — The Piaget Ellipse Ref. 9801

An artistic expression of 1970s watchmaking, this Piaget Ellipse blends elegance, rarity, and texture into a timeless wrist statement.

Housed in a compact 18k yellow gold case, this piece is elevated by a beautifully executed bark finish that covers the bezel and dial — creating a seamless harmony between form and function. The Piaget Caliber 9P1, renowned for its ultra-thin 2mm profile, is at the heart of this marvel, enabling an impressively slim silhouette while maintaining strong mechanical performance.

Preserved in fantastic condition with a flawless bark-textured dial, this reference 9801 is a connoisseur’s dream — rare, refined, and remarkably Piaget.
