Quattro's insightful post delves into the recent redesign of the Piaget Black Tie, now officially dubbed "the Andy Warhol watch." By presenting a comprehensive visual comparison of the new 45mm model with its previous iterations, quattro provides an invaluable resource for collectors to analyze the aesthetic evolution, particularly the shift from needle to dauphine hands and stepped to clous de Paris bezels. This detailed examination allows the WatchProSite community to critically assess the design changes and their impact on the watch's iconic 1972 fashion vibe.
The second best blue meteorite dial I have seen ☺️. I have a slight bias for mine, not just because I have it, but because I do feel it's a bit more subtle in its color and overall presentation....
I must admit i like the hobnail motif.
The dial reflects even in bad/low light conditions, I snapped a couple of deliberately 'low quality' pictures inside my car at night to showcase this fact!....
The black dial with the stick hands and the stepped case is awesome, pure, elegant, formal, a bit Art Deco. The new blue meteorite with the Dauphine hands and the cloud de Paris bezel is perhaps less formal but just as elegant and captivating… I think it would be a very difficult thing to choose between the two. Might have to have both! 😜 Best E.
Even if I personally preferred the stepped bezel of the previous iteration. But that’s pure personal preference. Nice selection of the versions, too - thanks for that 🙏🏻
The size of 45 mm would need to be checked on the wrist.
