Renamed and redesigned Piaget Black Tie
Now officially named “the Andy Warhol watch”, the 45mm Black Tie comes with dauphine hands (instead of needles) and a clous de Paris bezel (instead of stepped).
The crazy 1972 fashion vibe is still here, but I think I personally preferred the stepped bezel and needle hands.
I’ve added, for comparison, photos of the previous variants since the reintroduction of the model in 2014.
Best.

Easily....
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.... ...
🙏
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!.... ...
Need to see the difference between the stepped bezel and the new one in person i guess
I must admit i like the hobnail motif.
Both are great if you ask me
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 ...
Both would be great indeed! 😁
But if i had to choose only one, it would personally be the stepped bezel, needle hands variant!
Ultimately I’m probably with you on this
Although I looooooove Dauphine hands, the black dial + stepped bezel combo is just ace. The clous de Paris jar a tiny bit against the crown.
Very true this tiny conflict between clous de Paris pattern and crown.
As for the dauphine hands, I certainly can understand your attraction to them.
Any dress watch should be applauded nowadays…
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 🙏🏻
Yes, wrist experience is always the way to go
but perhaps even more so for such a watch.
Now this is the original and most charming square watch in my mind👌🏽
I agree with you about the strong preference for the previous stepped bezel/case, but this is an iconic piece especially with the different stone dials. Also, it immediately reminds me of our dear departed friend Ovais.
Both are very nice with
the new one being bolder/more aggressive. From these pics - I would go for the first one.
Reminds me of forum legend horolgy75 🙏
As for the watches, very cool. I prefer the stepped bezel white meteorite.
Yup his posts were always looked forward to
Very knowledgeable, passionate and kind member based on his posts here
I like that one best too, however customization is part of the offering now too
Options include: Dial: blue meteorite or ten ornamental stones to choose from Case: White or rose gold Hands: new Dauphine-style hands or original baton Straps: Five different leather strap colours The one shown is €56,000
Yes, thanks for adding this information: for such a stiff price, customization is very welcome.
All the more so, as the caliber isn’t particularly impressive/attractive.
