Very rare Piaget Beta 21 with reference 14101 C 10 in 18k yellow gold with original gold bracelet and jewellery clasp in 18k yellow gold. The reference 14101 is the Jumbo version of the Rectangle à L'Ancienne model line, characterised by the large, stepped and rectangular case measuring 41 x 33 mm. This huge case houses what is probably the most legendary quartz calibre of all time, the Beta-21 calibre, which was developed in a project involving many different manufacturers under the name ‘Centre Electronique Horloger’. The largest and best-known watch manufacturers such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Omega and IWC were involved. The 14101 was only produced around 300 times in yellow gold, and the version with a screw-down yellow gold bracelet is even rarer than the leather strap version. The ‘C 10’ behind the normal reference 14101 indicates that the watch was delivered with a gold bracelet! However, what makes this watch an absolute collector's rarity is its so-called Hawk Eye dial (also known as Falcon Eye). We are only aware of one other Piaget Beta 21 watch with this dial, the one we have here has no cracks or chips. As it is a natural stone (a type of quartz), it has a characteristic chatoyance effect, i.e. its color and shine change depending on the incidence of light – we have taken several photos in which the dial and movement have been removed. The photos were taken under natural sunlight and artificial studio lighting. This allows the different facets of the dial to be seen perfectly and really shows off the uniqueness of this stone. Once you have the watch on your wrist and feel the immense weight of approx. 212.9 grams, you realise the power and presence of this watch. If you take a look at the case back, you will find the very raised gold hallmark, which is an indication that the watch has only been professionally and carefully refurbished once at Piaget and is in a very nice condition. The watch comes with the following accessories: original Piaget box - Piaget service invoice from 2004. This item is directly available.
