According to the Piaget Archives, the present timepiece was manufactured in 1986.
To describe this watch as eye-catching would be an understatement. The diamonds adorning the watch radiate from the center of the dial outward across the case and bracelet, evoking the brilliance of rays of light captured in motion. As a result, haute horlogerie and haute joaillerie are harmoniously combined, demonstrating Piaget's unmatched proficiency in both fields. A masterfully orchestrated composition of balance and brilliance is created by carefully cutting and setting each stone to fit its exact position.
Powering the watch is the ultra-thin quartz caliber 8P, honoring Piaget's groundbreaking contributions to the Quartz Revolution. Piaget, one of the Swiss manufacturers that contributed to the development of the first Swiss quartz movement, the Beta 21, quickly went on to produce its own, pushing the boundaries of technology with the thinnest quartz caliber in the world at the time.
This unique piece, set with 134 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 15.69 carats and 64 baguette-cut diamonds totaling 5.08 carats, is one of the most stunning manifestations of Piaget's creative genius. It is a unique chance for collectors to acquire a watch that skillfully combines technical innovation, artistic excellence, and breathtaking beauty.
