Each piece highlights the extravagance and elegance of a unique style by masterful use of gold and color magnified by the excellence of perfectly accomplished savoir-faire.

When mastery sparks artistry – In this section, Piaget’s expertise in craftsmanship intertwines with it’s historical affinity for haute couture, precious textures merge with gold, bestowing upon it an entirely new fluidity.
‘In 2022, when we began to design the 150 year anniversary collection it wasn’t about identically reproducing heritage pieces, but rather taking inspiration from them. Revisiting those values of boldness, originality and elegance that characterize this Maison’s soul at the dawn of modernity,’ Piaget jewelry and watch artistic director Stephanie Sivriere said in a press release.
