According to the Archives of Piaget, the present timepiece was manufactured in 1972.
Propelled by the incredible creative momentum of the 1970s, Piaget elevated hard stones to the status of precious gems. The brand quickly recognized the value of using these materials and mastered the necessary production techniques. Color became the brand's hallmark: jade, coral, lapis lazuli, tiger's eye, and turquoise. Over 30 different stones adorned a stunning array of exceptional models, with their interaction with light, inclusions, and subtle nuances giving each creation a unique character. Piaget crafted astonishing graphic effects by combining various hard stones.
Piaget epitomizes daring creativity - a quality that has continued to permeate through the Maison since its beginnings in 1874. From his first workshop in La Côte-aux-Fées, Georges-Edouard Piaget devoted himself to crafting high-precision movements in a feat that formed the very foundations of their pioneering name. In the late 1950s, Piaget unveiled the ultra-thin movements that would later become the Maison’s trademark. As a true innovator of the watch and jewellery world, Piaget strongly believed in creativity and artistic values.
