Piaget Gouverneur Ref. 90968 – Ultra-Thin Mastery in Solid 18K Gold
A pinnacle of Piaget’s commitment to horological elegance and mechanical finesse, the Gouverneur Ref. 90968 is a rare expression of mid-century haute horlogerie. With its iconic ultra-thin 9P2 calibre and a stunning gold case, this dress watch epitomizes the understated opulence and precision for which Piaget is celebrated.
Timeless Elegance in 18K Yellow Gold
Cased in a solid and substantial 18K yellow gold shell, the Gouverneur Ref. 90968 wears with undeniable presence while maintaining a classically refined 33mm profile. The watch’s architectural case lines are clean and balanced, tapering into its integrated lugs with grace. A factory-signed sapphire crystal protects the dial while preserving the watch’s slim profile.
The Piaget-signed 18K yellow gold buckle completes the set, adding to the cohesive luxury of the timepiece and its collector-grade integrity.
Dial with Depth and Character
The white textured dial is beautifully composed, featuring applied Roman numerals crafted in gold. These markers have developed a gentle oxidation over time—a subtle patina that adds to the watch’s vintage charisma without compromising legibility. Each numeral stands proud against the dial's tactile backdrop, creating visual depth rare for such an ultra-thin watch.
Framed by the sharp gold bezel and original Piaget-signed crown, the dial serves as a minimalist canvas that balances form and function in equal measure.
Calibre 9P2 – Engineering at Its Thinnest
Beating inside is the legendary Piaget Calibre 9P2, a manual-wind movement measuring just 2.15mm in thickness. This ultra-thin marvel is a technical showcase: finely finished bridges, polished anglage, and a balance wheel equipped with a fine regulator for optimal timekeeping. In keeping with Piaget’s tradition of elevating every detail, the anchor and anchor wheel are forged from solid 9K gold—testament to the uncompromising quality of the movement.
Fresh from a full professional service, the 9P2 ticks with a renewed heartbeat, ready for another generation of wear.
