- To mark the restoration of the Torre dell’Orologio, a project commissioned by the Venetian authorities to Piaget, this limited edition of just 10 wristwatches commemorates the iconic clock tower’s 500th anniversary.

- Crafted in yellow gold with rich blue enamel, the striking interplay of blue and gold defines the watch’s distinctive aesthetic. The Piaget-blue enamel bezel is adorned with raised Roman numerals, adding depth and refinement to the design.

- Further enhancing its artistry, the blue enamel caseband features a hand-engraved gold lion in bas-relief, paying tribute to Venice’s enduring symbol.

- Technically, the watch is equipped with a chronograph featuring a small seconds display at 9 o’clock, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, and a central sweep seconds hand. The movement is an exceptional feat of craftsmanship, requiring approximately 700 hours of engraving, bevelling, and polishing.

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.
