Catalogue Essay
Manufactured in 1975, the present white gold bracelet watch is fitted with an onyx and mother-of-pearl dial. The mother-of-pearl shimmers radiantly in the centre of the onxy dial, forming a fascinating monotone contrast. The watch is further highlighted with a special expandable slide clasp that makes the integral bracelet adjustable, demonstrating the quality and craftsmanship of Piaget’s gold work.
Creativity, 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.
