Catalogue Essay
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Piaget's signature style was demonstrated through their intricate use of precious stones and bracelet configurations.
The present example is eye-catching, as the openwork yellow gold bracelet is accented with malachite cabochons throughout. The malachite dial is absolutely mesmerizing, as it captivates the wearer with different hues of green.
This Montre Manchette model attracts attention with its delicate aesthetic, and was well preserved by the previous owner, as it looks virtually unworn. This watch is a work of art and utterly rare amongst Piaget's timepieces.

Literature
Piaget
Swiss | 1874Creativity, audacity and know-how are the values that gave Piaget its international reputation and allowed the brand to distinguish itself in the world of fine watchmaking and precision. Founder Georges Edouard Piaget established the company in 1874 and manufactured watch movements. While Piaget is famously recognized today for their elaborate wristwatch and bangle designs, they also mastered the marriage of their high-quality, in-house-produced wristwatches and stunning pieces of jewelry.
Collectors consider the 1970s as Piaget's era of superb creativity and unbounded designs. During this highly creative period, the brand designed an impressive range of cuff and bracelet watches carved in gold and adorned with exotic hard stones. Admired by most as not only jewelry but also true works of art, the firm's hard stone dial watches remain the most iconic, recognizable and desirable among collectors.
