Piaget
Founded in 1874 by Georges Piaget in La Côte-aux-Fées, Switzerland, the company opened their first showroom at 40, rue du Rhône, Geneva, in 1959. Piaget rapidly became the specialist of the world's thinnest watches and for the unique style of cases and bracelets in 18K gold or platinum, the only case materials Piaget allows to enter its workshops. The company is a pioneer in the realm of watches embellished with gemstones, using lapis lazuli, coral, mother-of-pearl, tiger's eye and onyx in an amazing symphony of dials which appeal to customers increasingly eager for colour and variety.
The present watch is an impressive model of an "Esclave" watch, part of the "Manchette" collection launched in the early 1970s. These watches were designed for a young and avant-garde female public and characterized by their large bracelets, forming a cone when worn, and the unusual dial materials.
Their exceptional design confirms Piaget's creativity and originality and earning it the coveted title of "the jeweller of watch making".
