Altiplano Ultimate Concept

Not fully green, not blue…. This new expression of the now iconic Altiplano Ultimate Concept is one-of-a-kind. Playing on subtle cobalt-alloy variations on the main plate and dial, Piaget brings a fresh, unexpected texture and depth to this innovative design.

Still ultra-thin and a landmark in its category without ever making compromises on the comfort and the watchmaking standards like the water resistance in an open-work watch.

And just like the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar in steel or pink gold, green is this season Piaget’s new shade of bold.

Altiplano Ultimate Automatic

The heir of Piaget’s watchmaking legacy and creativity is now bracing for a new look. Nestled between the bustling daily life and the black tie attire, this navy blue self-winding watch subtly contrasts its blue bridges and the pink gold case and screws. A graphic way to shed new electric light on the bold fusion of the case and the 910P ultra-thin movement that earned raging reviews at the 2021 GPHG Awards.

High Jewellery Watches

A watchmaker who became a jeweller. A posture that is unique in the industry which defined the distinctive and recognizable Piaget signature. Palace Decor, ornamental stones, diamonds and sapphires. This year more than ever, the Maison returns to its roots, nodding to its most exuberant and evocative designs from the 1960-70s.

Here, mastery and artistry meet creativity and audacity with new timepieces that pulse with the Piaget spirit: bold, distinctive, and original.

Limelight Gala – High Jewellery

A one-of-a-kind high jewellery watch that combines Piaget’s creative heritage and haute couture inspiration in one rare specimen.

Twirling under the eyes in a joyful mix of brilliant and marquise-cut gemstones, a splash of rubies, spessartites, and diamonds carefully sourced to create a beautiful harmony sheds new light on another one of Piaget’s iconic signatures: the hand-engraved Palace Decor dial.

An innovative design that breaks the tradition with style.

Limelight Gala – Malachite

From the delicately woven Milanese mesh bracelet to the hypnotic malachite dial, this Limelight Gala brilliantly reflects the spirit of audacity, ingenuity and innovation that turned Piaget’s jewelled watches from the late ’60s and 70s into thrilling contemporary objects of desire for the jet set.

Today, within the walls of the in-house ateliers, master artisans continue to harness rare skills preserved and perfected from generation to generation. Still showcasing its iconic aesthetic, with the asymmetrical lugs and cambered case, this 32mm automatic watch combines boldness with attitude.

High Jewellery Aura Watch

From 1957, when Piaget decided to work only with precious materials and devote equal passion and attention to High Watchmaking and High Jewellery, the Maison has excelled in creating elegant yet dramatic High Jewellery watches. Piaget has always anticipated the shifts in fashion and in the 60s, dthe Maison focused on the cocktail or dress watch to coordinate with jewellery for evening wear.

Back in 1989 Piaget launched the ultimate High Jewellery watch – Aura. A diamond studded bracelet fully integrated with a gem-smothered case and bracelet. The invisible setting of the diamonds enabled ripples of light to move across the dial and around the wrist thus giving the watch its name.

Now get ready to make time stand still with the all new High Jewellery Aura Watch from Piaget! Featuring an ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement encased in a gem-smothered bracelet, this High Jewellery watch is the perfect combination of sophistication and timelessness. This beautiful, diamond-encrusted watch features an integrated gem-smothered case and bracelet, enabling light to ripple across the dial and adorn your wrist. It also houses an ultra-thin hand-wound movement and will keep you on time with its perpetual calendar feature. With diamonds set in near-invisible settings for added luminosity, the High Jewellery watch is designed to last forever. 

The contemporary classic in a modern context embodies Piaget’s twin passions, the Maison’s matchless gem-setting skill and their ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movements. The Aura today is a show case of craftsmanship that is unsurpassable. The custom-cut baguette diamonds flow uninterrupted into shaded icy-light to midnight blue meticulously calibrated sapphires and at the heart of which is diamond-set dial in a radiant sunburst pattern.

High Jewellery Cuff Watches

It’s thrice the charm for Piaget with their three cuff watches relaunched, which in the 60s and 70s were a hallmark of the Maison’s audacity. The then highly innovative hyper-naturalism of free form design and the oval dial seemingly covered by the gold that grew over the ornamental dials from the bracelets were a total embodiment of the naturalistic theme. 

The cuffs are very individualistic and each has distinct hand-graved patterns and textures highlighting Piaget’s expertise in the art of engraving and dedication to Métiers d’Or. The very divergent engraving speaks about the artistic skills of each artisan.

Piaget Swinging Sautoir – Gold

The mystical and mesmerizing gold has always been a preoccupation for Piaget, as the Maison reveres and celebrates the noble art of the goldsmith.

Now the masterworks unveiled at Watches and Wonders, inspired by Piaget icons and signatures, pay homage to these gold-working traditions and superb hand skills, the Métiers d’Or, most notably of chain-making and engraving. Inspired by an original 1969 model in Piaget’s daringly avant-garde 21st Century collection, this pendant watch features a horizontal oval case rimmed in diamonds within a gold ropework surround, the dial decorated with Palace Decor, suspended on an intricate, hand-made chain, draped through diamond circular links.

For the chain, the gold thread, custom-milled to the exact thickness, is meticulously worked by hand, twisted and intertwined into delicate links.

The tassels of unequal lengths, a Piaget signature from the 1960s and 70s, are composed of the same gold chain, accented with diamonds, to echo and balance the case. Supremely fluid and flexible, the sensual, seductively playful tactility of the tassels is made possible by unrivalled expertise.

Piaget Swinging Sautoir – Emerald

This sautoir watch, contemporizing one of Piaget’s most distinctive signatures from the 1960s and 70s, is centred on a spectacular and rare 25.38-carat oval cabochon Zambian emerald.

The draped chain is entirely hand-made from immaculately-formed twisted gold circular links, connected by diamonds and interspersed with emeralds; the chain alone took 130 hours of meticulous work. The oval case, another Piaget signature, vertically positioned to echo the cabochon emerald, is framed in a twisted gold wire and rimmed in diamonds and emeralds.

The malachite dial pays homage to Piaget’s 1960s ground-breaking creations and showcases the Maison’s incredible skills. The sautoir is finished with a three-strand fringe, a silky cascade of diamonds tipped with cabochon emeralds.

Possession

The Possession collection revolves around a spinning movement and a shape. Unique and playful, Possession is an invitation to turn life on. More than a collection, Possession is an invitation to express our personalities freely.

Both simple and sophisticated, it invites creativity and stands as a rallying sign for a community eager to experience, explore and have fun while being given a chance to tell its own story with style.
