  • Catalogue Essay

    Piaget is a brand known for its exquisite and beautifully designed lady’s bracelet watches. Their creative excellence and workmanship of the 1960s and 70s are a perfect representation of the time, which was at the same time both turbulent and stylish. The present watch manufactured in 1967 is the ideal embellishment of this productive period. The in-house miniature movement allowed Piaget to create a piece that is not only functional but also haute couture. The flexible bracelet was created with individual links and sits comfortably on the wrist. The alternating blue and green enamel plaques are classic 1960s design. This rare timepiece is sure to please all who see it for its creative idea.

  • 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.
