We Want To Be A Part Of Your Watch Journey
Condition
The thick gold case is in nice condition with normal wear. The dial has two parts: blue Lapis with an outer white lacquer finish. The stone itself has no cracks or chips. The gloss lacquer on the hour track has some spidering, only noticeable in certain light.
Like many references from Piaget, there isn't much information out there about them. The Tanagra is on the more intricate side of Piaget's designs. Similar to the Polo, you have horizontal lines going throughout the case. The Tanagra design is simply a more rounded-off version of the Polo.
This example, the reference 17041, is a hair under 34mm in solid gold with a stone dial. Most stone dials within this model usually come with diamonds on the dial, case, or both. This, on the other hand, has no diamonds and just a stone dial, making it much easier to wear. The watch is paired with our own French leather strap and the original Piaget buckle.
In 1874, Georges Edouard Piaget established the Piaget Company in La Côte-aux-Fées, Switzerland, where he created precise mechanical complications for established watchmaking companies. As his skills became more known, the company became a family-run business. In 1943, the company was officially registered and became a brand, with watches designed and manufactured under their name. The company's grandsons, Gérald and Valentin Piaget helped make the brand more widely known.
In 1945, a new facility was built in La Côte-aux-Fées, leading to more complex mechanical movements. Piaget's watchmaking innovations included the Caliber 9P, a thin manual watch movement, and the Caliber 12P movement, the slimmest self-winding movement in the world at only 2.3 millimeters thick. This innovation opened up the doors for creating popular jewelry watches.
Piaget became known for their timepiece mechanics and as master jewelers, creating pieces such as jewel watches, coin watches, ring watches, brooch watches, cufflink watches, and matinee necklaces. In 1988, Piaget joined the Luxury Group, now known as Richemont, which owns several leading luxury brands. This allowed Piaget to grow and develop as a leading luxury brand.
In 2001, Piaget opened its Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie outside of Geneva, Switzerland, to respond faster to their expanding customer base's demands. Just one year after opening the Geneva workshop, the master watchmakers developed the Caliber 600P, the thinnest Tourbillon movement in the world at just 3.5 millimeters thick. In 2005, Piaget entered the small circle of brands with their own chronograph movement, creating a 5.6 mm-thick dual-time flyback caliber. In 2010, Piaget introduced the 1200P and 1208P, ultra-thin self-winding movements similar to the 12P launched 50 years prior.
Over the years, Piaget has built a strong business and a reputation as a leading luxury brand, with the company expected to continue growing as a brand for many years to come.
