Founded in La Côte-aux-Fées in 1874, Piaget has long stood at the intersection of technical innovation and audacious design. While originally known for producing ultra-thin mechanical movements, it was in the mid-20th century that the maison boldly stepped into the world of high jewellery watches. Piaget quickly became synonymous with elegance, glamour, and artistic craftsmanship, often adorning the wrists of cultural icons and royalty. Its timepieces of the 1960s and 1970s in particular—where haute horlogerie met haute joaillerie—reflect the golden era of jet-set sophistication and Swiss savoir-faire, where the boundaries between watchmaking and jewellery blurred in the most refined manner. The present watch, Piaget reference 9131 D 2, is a sublime testament to that legacy. Crafted entirely in white gold, the timepiece features a lavishly textured bracelet with a dramatic woven motif,reminiscent of hand-sculpted leaves, blending seamlessly into the engraved bezel and square case. The dial is a constellation of brilliant-cut diamonds, delicately accented by four cabochon sapphires, serving as hour markers with poetic restraint. The sharp dauphine hands offer the only contrast to the shimmering tableau, creating a delicate tension between form and function. This piece transcends conventional definitions—it is not merely a watch, but a dazzling sculpture of time, worn like a piece of art.
