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. The focus on utilizing hard or precious stones became a hallmark, fostering an atmosphere of luxury coupled with creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and fully integrated expertise, characteristics that would define Piaget forever. The present lot is a testament to Piaget’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and design, especially during the avant-garde spirit of the 1970s. These watches were distinguished by their elegant bracelets, artfully designed to gracefully embrace the wrist. The present reference 4300 is a possibly unique creation adorned with a mesmerizing ensemble of rubies and diamonds. Possibly destined to the Middle East market, the visual impact is nothing short of a scene-stealer, with the carrè rubies mounted in striking dualism against the round shape of the diamonds, creating a captivating visual contrast. The yellow-gold rings, intricately linked to each other, form a lavish and striking structure, making the entire ensemble a work of art. The dial, embellished with a full diamond pavé set, further enhances the opulence of this exceptional timepiece. Preserved in excellent overall condition, this jewel watch serves as a magnificent demonstration of high-level craftsmanship and impeccable aesthetic taste and stands as a timeless expression of sophistication and innovation.
