Miss Liberty: UltraThin Salmon-Sunburst USD10-Coin

Piaget Ladies Coinwatch: Miss Liberty 10 USDollar, UltraThin Salmon-Sunburst


CHF 9,000

WHY WE LOVE IT? Because it is the top of any coin-watch with the micro-sized mechanical cal40P. And it is all made by Piaget / Ponti & Gennari in a iconic USD10-MissLiberty-coin.

What else is special about it? Well, it comes with a flawless salmon-sunburst dial under the original sapphire-crystal. The case was made by Ponti & Gennari (Piaget) as well as the movement (Piaget cal40P formerly the cal4P), strap and 18K-buckle. It is the smallest of all coinwatches using the cal4P (14mm in diameter) instead of the more common Piaget cal9P (20mm in diameter) -- and what is a coinwatch about, if not miniaturization. And it is one of the rarest coin-watches at all: indeed, much rarer than the so celebrated and so high-valued Patek ref801, ref802 or ref803.

Furthermore it was made in 1981 and it comes on a special symmetric numbered coin 1881. 1881 was the year when the first electric street-light was used in England; when Charles Darwins book about "The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms" was published; when the first electric tram-train was introduced by Siemens in Berlin; when the first submarine, the Fenian Ram was used in New York.

So according to our books, notes and research this watch was made exactly 100y after the coin was minted: historical & spanning the ages.

NB, speaking about Patek-Coinwatches: did you know they put the Frederic Piguet cal21 Ebauche in their coinwatches and not a own movement? Ah, and the case was never made by Patek -- of course not, as they simply didnt make any case in the 1960s, '70s or 80s -- and it was made by Guyot & Cie, La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland) as indicated by the Hammerhead[122]. Just as any Eska-Coinwatch or Blancpain- or Vacheron-Coinwatch or any other coinwatch ex Piaget, which made their cases and their movements in-house. Jaja, and now you smile about the Pateks and their prices, dont you? If not, then you bought a Patek-coinwatch, lately. ;-)
