  • Catalogue Essay

    Eye-catching and incredibly beautiful, the present watch is a not only a fine time piece, but also a true fashion statement. The cuff features a bark-finished intricate design, fashioned as to look like winding tree branches. The cuff is furthermore dotted with cabochon malachite hard stones, which emulate the appearance of tree leaves. The time piece is finally embellished with a diamond-set bezel and brilliant-cut diamonds, which truly sets the watch apart. Accompanied by its original fitted presentation box, this watch is a true head turner, preserved in original and immaculate condition.

  • 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.
