Celebrating its 150th anniversary, Piaget is a Swiss brand with a rich history deeply intertwined with watchmaking excellence. Established in 1874 by Georges Edouard Piaget, the brand initially specialized in crafting precision watch movements before transitioning into a renowned watchmaker. In the mid-20th century, Piaget made waves by introducing ultra-thin movements, setting records with Caliber 9P in 1957 and the world’s thinnest automatic movement, Caliber 12P, in 1960. Beyond technical prowess, Piaget seamlessly blends Swiss precision with artistic innovation, particularly in high-jewelry watches. Its iconic timepieces like the Altiplano, Possession, and Polo reflect the brand’s commitment to pushing boundaries. While Piaget has garnered renown for its intricate wristwatches, it has equally excelled in crafting elegant and sophisticated jewelry watches tailored for both men and women. Among these, the showcased bracelet watch stands as an exemplar of exceptional craftsmanship. This particular Piaget style, seldom encountered in the market, elevates the timepiece into the realm of a true gem. Fabricated from a precious 18k white-gold bracelet, the watch is a testament to Piaget’s commitment to luxury. The bracelet is exquisitely adorned with a lavish array of brilliant-cut diamonds, collectively weighing approximately 10 carats. Adding a distinctive touch of color to the ensemble, baguette-cut emeralds grace the composition, becoming the defining chromatic element of the entire watch. The pave-set diamond dial, intricately positioned within a square case nestled in the heart of the flexible bracelet, further enhances the watch’s allure. Despite the sturdy white-gold construction, the timepiece remains remarkably lightweight when worn on the wrist. Presented in a condition akin to new, this masterpiece epitomizes glamour and is impeccably suitable for both male and female wrists. Additionally, the presence of the Piaget inscription on the glass adds a further layer of authenticity to this remarkable piece of wearable art.
