___________________________
Comments:
The Pierre was the second generation to utilize the 982 19-jewel
movement and the first 982 Hamilton wrist watch manufactured with
hinged lugs. It was offered in 14K solid gold and was part of the
"curved to fit the wrist" series. Although considered a classic
wrist watch by Hamilton enthusiasts, the Pierre was not particularly
popular when first introduced and subsequently was produced for only
two years. The Pierre is a very scarce model and is widely sought by
Hamilton collectors.
The Pierre was sold in 14K yellow gold only.
Note: It was not
unusual for Hamilton to have deviated from production specifications
to satisfy a customer's request. Subsequently, "untypical"
Hamilton's although unusual, are not particularly rare. This
particular Pierre appears to have a dial different from the
cataloged dial. It is unknown if the customer ordered the
watch this way or if the dial merely served as a replacement for the
original.
