Lot Essay
According to the Archives of Piaget, the present watch was manufactured in 1978, set with 90 brilliant-cut diamonds with a total of 9.98 ct.
This timepiece perfectly embodies both the spirit of Piaget – renowned as one the foremost makers of bejeweled watches – and the spirit of the 1970s, characterized by the abundant use of shapes and textures. The combination of a green malachite dial, white diamonds, and yellow gold grants this creation the sort of carefree elegance typical of that decade. The dial is nearly completely devoid of any scales, only the signature and the “Swiss” designation are present, and the entire piece is defined by the elaborate design and striking, mutually reinforcing contrast of the different materials and colours.
