Cartier-esque Beta21: Rare Jumbo FullSet

Piaget Black Tie: Rare Cartier-esque Beta21, Warhol & FullSet


CHF 47,000

WHY WE LOVE IT? It is the one of the rarest Beta21, Piaget ref15101; even more in whitegold. It comes fresh and unknown to the market from the original 1st owner. It is in excellent condition, probably unpolished, with manufacturer-serviced and Piaget-guaranteed Beta21-movement and -- what makes it probably a unicorn today -- a full set: original box and original Beta21-guarantee from 1974.

Besides all that it is the important 1st Swiss quartzwatch and the model that inspired Andy Warhol and Piaget alike for his ref15102 and the now hot-running modern Piaget "Andy Warhol".

Black & White Black Tie Total. This watch is obviously the definition and the namesake of the Piaget "Black Tie" -- its original name, before Piaget came out with more colorful variations and named it "Andrew Warhol" in 2025 -- with a Cartier-esque very classic & rare dial:

The watch is unknown to the market and comes from the 1st owner: inclusive original big and exclusive box and warranty-paper (1974, Germany). Furthermore the movement was serviced by Piaget, Switzerland and comes with a manufacturers warranty until 2027.

The size is the same like the popular Patek Beta21 ref3587, which is a nice and beautiful watch, indeed. But while the Patek comes with basically no-movementholder (just three aluminium pins), the Piaget comes with a 18K solid gold movementholder. This is just one aspect where the quality differs -- there are more -- but both share the jumbo-size of 43mm. Another difference: while the Patek Beta21 was made in approx 400 pcs, the Piaget ref15101 was made in less than 100 -- and this is visible on the market: there is always something available; the Piaget is a different story: usually there is nothing available for years. And like this -- whitegold, full set, classic "Black Tie" dial & in top-condition -- a piece-unique.
