Piaget Tank Ultra-Thin Ref. 9287 – 1960s, 18K Yellow Gold (With Original Box)

A masterclass in restraint and refinement, the Piaget Tank Ref. 9287 embodies the Maison’s unrivaled expertise in ultra-thin watchmaking during the 1960s. At a time when elegance was defined by discretion rather than excess, Piaget stood at the forefront—creating watches that were as technically impressive as they were visually serene.

This Tank is a pure expression of that philosophy: slim, architectural, and effortlessly sophisticated.

Ultra-Thin 18K Yellow Gold Case – Piaget at Its Finest

Crafted in solid 18K yellow gold, the rectangular Tank case measures 29 × 23mm and is astonishingly slim at just 4.8mm thick. On the wrist, it feels almost weightless—slipping easily under a cuff while maintaining a strong design presence.

The proportions are perfectly judged, with sharp, elegant lines that echo classical Tank aesthetics while remaining unmistakably Piaget. The case is in excellent overall condition, preserving its crisp geometry and refined surfaces.

A sapphire cabochon crown adds a discreet touch of color and luxury, reinforcing Piaget’s jewelry-inspired design language.

White Lacquer Dial – Pure & Timeless

The white lacquer dial is minimalist and beautifully balanced, offering a clean backdrop that enhances the watch’s refined character. Its simplicity is intentional—allowing the form, proportions, and craftsmanship to speak for themselves.

The dial remains elegant and uncluttered, perfectly aligned with Piaget’s mid-century design ethos.

Calibre 9P1 – Legendary Ultra-Thin Movement

Inside beats the legendary Piaget Calibre 9P1, one of the thinnest mechanical movements ever produced at the time. Recently serviced and running perfectly, this movement is the technical heart of the watch and a cornerstone of Piaget’s reputation.

The 9P family of movements established Piaget as the undisputed master of ultra-thin horology, and this example delivers both reliability and exceptional wearability decades after its creation.

Original Box & Finishing Touches

The watch is paired with a handmade brown leather strap from Belgium, chosen to complement the warmth of the yellow gold case.

Included is a very rare original black Piaget box—a highly desirable accessory for collectors. Please note that the box shows wear consistent with age, and the opening/closing mechanism is damaged; however, its presence significantly enhances the historical completeness of the set.

Loved it!!
Format: Paperback
I have bought all of the books in this series for my nephew and he LOVES them. I get an email whenever a new one is coming out and I can buy it (which I always do) if I would like. It makes it so easy to keep current on the series.

wow!
Format: Kindle
What an amazing story that tells about history from the perspective of a kid named Ben that was pretty much forced (but was thankful for the work) to work with coal in the Tower of London, to find out Princess Elizabeth was arrested and sent to the same tower. The plot thickens as he helps her escape. He was met with many challenges, but his best friend Tim helped him always, what a faithful friend! I absolutely love and adore this story because it’s based on history and real life facts, these things actually happened! But when you read it, the author has written it so well it almost sounds like a fantasy! I can’t wait to read more, it’s such a great book, I give it 5 stars but really it deserves 10! Highly recommend!

Don't let this great middle grade book escape you.
Format: Paperback
I am an Anglophile and love the history of England. This book was an incredible read and fed my addiction fully with Renaissance England inspired history and fiction featuring Ben, a 15 year of commoner and an accidental hero who finds himself a prison let working the Tower’s dreadful jail. This spry has short chapters that will appeal to children with a short attention span, and the storyline like the other installment feature children using real life problem solving skills as they help others. This is an overall great read and highly recommended.

Suspenseful
Format: Kindle
Ben a 15-year-old found himself chained to a wall in a dungeon. His job was to carry coal around the towners to rich prisoners. Princess Elizabeth was thrown into the traitor's tower by her evil sister Queen Mary. He had to try and help save her, now he is a prisoner. The adventure starts, will Ben get out? How will he ever get out? will the princess be saved? Every page is filled with suspense. I loved the history lesson at the end of the book, filled with so much information.

A Tudor Tale of Derring-Do for Children
Format: Kindle
Ben Forrester sees a young woman being dragged into the Tower of London and despite the good advice of his friend, Tim and it being a seemingly impossible task, he sets out to rescue her. On the way, there are messages written in invisible ink, a princess dressed as a coal boy - a coal boy dressed as a princess - dungeons with rats and a lot of adventure. This is an exciting and well-written tale for children, set in the reign of Mary Tudor in the violent and cruel days of the sixteenth century. It has a lot in it to acquaint a reader with life and society at the time and gives a (highly distorted) sketch of the political events of the time. My one big complaint as a historian is the biased perspective of this book which reinforces many popular myths and misconceptions about both Mary and Elizabeth. As this book might be the first (and for some children maybe the only) experience they have of the period it seems to me tragic that it does so. To read it you would think Elizabeth was perfect and Mary pure evil. We are told of Mary's burnings but not why they happened or of Elizabeth's subsequent persecutions and none of it is placed in context. This is a black and white version of history which is horribly inaccurate because it is so, and misleads another generation to despise the woman who was England's first true Queen and who overcame so many challenges including those of politics, religion and rabid misogyny to rule in her own right. I love the irony that we find out in the historical notes at the back that the story of Ben's escape was based on the real-life escape of a man imprisoned there by Elizabeth on account of his beliefs... So whilst I can applaud this as a good, immersive, book to help a child learn about the social history of the time, I would hesitate to recommend it because of the way it reinforces the ignorant bias of popular history over the truth.
