The 1970s were an era of superb creativity and unbounded designs, and this fully reflects on timepieces of the period. In fact, Piaget was at the forefront of this trend storing of its know-how as a jeweller/watchmaker. They realised some of their most exquisite and outstanding creations during this time. Their use of coloured hardstones coupled with whimsical integrated bracelet designs have gifted the collecting community with some of the most fascinating bracelet watches ever devised, and even today reflections of their mid-century creations at times echo in their current pieces.

Worn by artists, celebrities, and socialites of this period, Piaget’s 1970s creation appealed to the “jet set”, who found them to be the chic jewellery alternative to ordinary watches.

The present bracelet watch is a perfect example of Piaget’s audacity; the gold case and bracelet were hand finished with a bark-like texture, and is set with alternating brick links of lapis lazuli and jade. The green jade dial combined with the textured gold case and bracelet give this piece of art an organic style inspired by nature. It is an eye-catching statement piece that even after 40 years, will still impress the most sophisticated collectors not only with its over-the-top aesthetics, but also with its absolute pristine - virtually “new-old-stock” - state of preservation, and the presence of its original box and Certificate. The ultimate find for the collector of unusual and rare timepieces.
