Piaget showed up in shining form at Watches and Wonders 2023 in Geneva with some dazzling creations
Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin – Obsidian
The obsidian gemstone has an inherent iridescence. The dial of the new Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Obsidian emanates the stone’s shimmery quality. Piaget has paired this exceptional obsidian on a white gold case with a perpetual calendar. This is a rare timepiece, as it is limited to 18 collectable editions.
High Jewellery Sautoir Watch
Meticulously hand-twisted gold chains, each one taking no less than 130 hours, carry a tassel-style sautoir is set with a 25.38ct oval cabochon Zambian emerald to match an oval-shaped dial.
High Jewellery Aura
This one truly dazzles. We see custom-cut baguette diamonds flow into a dégradé composition of meticulously calibrated sapphires, shaded from icy-light to midnight blue enclosing a diamond-set dial in a radiant sunburst pattern. This novelty took more than 260 hours of impeccable craftsmanship.
High Jewellery Cuff Watches
Piaget introduces three strikingly contemporary watches to re-interpret the cuff watches of the 1960’s to 1970’s that became its hallmark.
