Offered here is a refined and highly collectible Piaget Ten Dollar Coin Watch reference 950B, a discreet and elegant expression of the maison’s long-standing mastery of ultra-thin dress watchmaking. Combining numismatic charm with Piaget’s unmistakable sense of proportion and refinement, this piece stands out as a sophisticated vintage creation in which horology and objet d’art meet with complete coherence. Dating to the 1970s, the watch is housed within a United States of America Ten Dollar coin dated 1881, giving it both decorative richness and strong period character.

The defining feature of the watch is its concealed coin-form case. The front displays the Lady of Libertymotif, while the reverse features the bald eagle, preserving the full charm of the original coin while discreetly housing a fine mechanical watch within. The case opens by pressing the thumbpiece set into the milled band, revealing a gilt dial and the restrained, elegant presentation for which Piaget became so admired during its golden era. Both playful and sophisticated, the design captures a period when Piaget excelled at transforming precious objects into highly wearable watches.

Inside is a manual-winding movement, reinforcing the intimate and traditional appeal of the piece. The watch features an 18k yellow gold case, a 27 mm diameter, a black leather strap, and an 18k yellow gold Piaget pin buckle. More than a novelty, this is a charming and intelligent collector’s piece — a vintage Piaget that combines concealment, craftsmanship and unmistakable old-world elegance.
