The story of Piaget began in 1874 as the vision of Georges Edouard Piaget, whose ambition was to craft high-precision movements for pocket watches—many of which were commissioned by prestigious watchmakers of the time. Before long, the Piaget name transcended the borders of Neuchâtel, earning international recognition. In 1911, Georges’ son, Timothée Piaget, took the reins of the family business, ushering in a new era that would see the brand pivot toward wristwatches. From the very start, Piaget committed itself to mastering the art of ultra-thin horology, consistently setting records for the slimmest timepieces, both in simple and complicated executions. Entirely crafted from yellow gold and tempested with diamonds, this exceptional timepiece remains in remarkable condition, preserving all the hallmarks of Piaget’s timeless craftsmanship. Its bracelet is a mesmerizing work of art, adorned with diamonds arranged in a delicate honeycomb pattern, an intricate design that imbues the watch with a sense of fluidity and movement. This motif extends seamlessly onto the bezel, where a luminous array of diamonds is meticulously set within the rich yellow-gold frame. At its heart, the dial is a vision of refinement, featuring a pristine mother-of-pearl surface punctuated by four brilliant-cut diamonds serving as hour markers. The inner hexagonal structure, adorned with a pavé diamond setting, creates a stunning harmony between geometry and opulence—resulting in a true masterpiece where haute joaillerie and haute horlogerie converge.
