Certain to become the most sought-after watch by professional athletes around the world, the Piaget 'Number 9' is a specially customized version of the classic Piaget Polo watch. It features a 43mm 18K white gold case and a makes a bold, handsome statement with its slate grey 18K gold and titanium bezel and matching slate grey dial. The 50 diamonds that form Mr. Parker's winning number 9 make it all his own.
