This Piaget ladies' wristwatch, reference 5273, dates to the 1980s and features a white gold construction. The case measures 27mm in diameter and is fashioned from 18-karat white gold, characterized by vertical fluted detailing.

Powering the timepiece is an in-house automatic ultra-thin movement. The watch is presented on a black leather strap signed by the manufacturer, complemented by an 18-karat white gold buckle. The auction description reports the piece is in virtually unworn condition, though no information regarding its service history, maintenance, or water-resistance capabilities is provided.
