  • Catalogue Essay

    While Piaget is famously recognized for their elaborate wristwatch and bangle designs, they also mastered the integration of their high-quality, in-house produced wristwatches into stunning pieces of jewellery. Usually, they produced these pieces in very small quantities, making each piece rare in its own right.

    The present necklace with pendant watch uses tiger’s eye for the dial, and is adorned with spherical cabochon tiger eye accents. In 18-karat yellow gold, the hand-crafted metalwork used throughout is of particularly high quality.

    Presented in overall excellent condition, this pendant watch impresses with its pleasing colours and uncommon presence.

  • Artist Biography

    Piaget

    Swiss • 1874

    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.
