    A near-mint stunner... lovely contrast between jet black dial, and white gold triangle hands.

    This Piaget Protocole features a highly accurate Piaget 857P quartz movement and 65 brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel & crown. There's a grand total of 2.88 carats in diamonds.

    Included is everything you see in the pictures: watch, original black crocodile leather strap with 18K gold clasp, leather/wood presentation box, outer box, dealer stamped book, instruction manual.

    Condition:

    Near Mint. Swirls seen on case sides that can easily be polished out. Small scratches on caseback.

    New 1.5v (1.55v measured) Swiss Renata battery installed August 2015.
    No dings; the case has just a few swirls on the 9-o'clock side (please see photos).

    Strap Sizing:

    Currently sized at about 7.4 inches, with at least another 0.8 inches to spare. It is also easily shortened to whatever size you may need.

    Dimensions:

    28mm wide not including crown X 32mm, 7.0mm thick. Lug width 18mm

    Movement: This one is quite nice. The Piaget 857P. Archer did a wonderfully informative write-up regarding quartz movements here (thanks, @Archer :)).

    https://omegaforums.net/threads/quartz-watches-some-information-some-may-find-interesting.5475/

    Price: Now $12,000

    CONUS sale highly preferred, though not required.

    In answer to an inquiry sent to Piaget 4 1/2 years ago, they stated that the last public price for this watch was $~33,100 (the e-mail copy is seen in the last photo).

    No worries, though. Priced at $12,000 via bank wire, Zelle, or PP F/F in conUS. Outside conUS please inquire via PM. I have many good references, both here and on another, much larger, (though lesser :rolleyes:) forum ('dougiedude' there, too)...

    Please PM me if you are seriously interested, want specific photos, or have any questions.

    The sale will be final.

    Thanks for looking!

    Doug

    This diamond laden beauty in 18K may need exposure in another forum, but until then, let's see...

    Price drop to $11,750 net to me, shipping included, offers welcomed.

    Does this one need to go to Chrono24, or thereabouts?

    Or just a lower price? The lady in your life might really appreciate this beauty; then you can justify that holy grail you've been eyeing...

    $11,500

    Knock another $500 off the price for established Ω-Forum members who wish to buy....:) ..and a bank wire gets another $300 off!

    ...but I get the feeling this watch might reach the right buyer with different exposure (more generic forum). Feel free to send me a PM (or a response) with suggestions!

    This one's headed to eBay tomorrow (or Thursday), so last chance before a stranger snags it!

    Gorgeous 'bling' for that special lady (or man), or as a high priced ornament to put on the tree!

    Seriously, this is still available, and I'll listen to most any offer... reasonable, of course!
