Fresh from celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2024, Piaget is moving forward with the unveiling of several pieces that beautifully demonstrate their aesthetic heritage. The collection includes new Swinging Sautoirs (necklace watches) and cuff watches that capture the free-spirited essence of the late 1960s, a reimagined Polo 79 in white gold, more stone dials for the Andy Warhol, and the dazzling Rainbow Aura which showcases the gem-setting expertise that has been a Piaget hallmark since the 1960s.

Sixtie: A shapely revival from the 1960s 

Piaget’s Sixtie collection is a new series of trapeze-shaped timepieces that pay homage to the brand’s revolutionary designs presented at the Basel Watch Fair in 1969. At the time, the collection comprised the most conceptually-designed horological jewels conjured up by a creative collective including Jean-Claude Gueit, who would then go out to be one of the 20th century’s most influential watch designers. One could say that Gueit (who’s the father of Emmanuel Gueit, designer of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore), would be considered the pioneer of Piaget’s renowned cuffs and necklaces watches, and much credit could be given to him for introducing hard stone dials to the brand’s repertoire in 1966.

Now among those avant-garde creations at the end of the 60s, the trapeze shape became particularly iconic. Under Gueit, the shape took over a multitude of watch and jewelry pieces, from statement cuffs to back-draping necklace watches.

Today’s Sixtie collection picks up where that work left off. In four new references, each watch features interlaced trapeze-shaped links that curve in nicely on the sides, finely chiseled gadroons on the bezel, and a satin-finished dial with golden hour markers and Roman numerals.

Available in pink gold, steel, and two-tone models, the Sixtie watch houses dainty dimensions measuring 29mm × 25.3mm (6.5mm thick) and displays main hours via a quartz movement. The full steel model is only available with a diamond-set bezel, while the pink gold versions have options without.

Andy Warhol Watch in new stone dials

Before the Andy Warhol watch was so named, thanks to his eponymous Foundation, the timepiece, which had its beginnings  in 1972, was known as model 15102, or the Black Tie watch. Its large, squarish case that measured 45mm across, was reportedly the most cherished of Warhol’s seven Piaget watches. Piaget did a second reissue of the Black Tie last year (the first time was in 2015) in an updated iteration with a Clou de Paris bezel and a blue meteorite dial. It was also presented in a high jewelry version, featuring a petrified wood dial and a triple-row, baguette-cut, emerald-set bezel, a creation they’ve christened “Metaphoria”.

Piaget has followed up on that this year, outfitting the Andy Warhol with a lustrous opal dial that’s said to be Yves Piaget’s favorite stone. In complementing the stone’s sparkling flecks of blue and green, the white gold bezel is set with a triple-row, baguette-cut, blue sapphires.

Also joining the lineup is a tiger’s eye dial variant, showcasing the silky, amber-colored stone with natural golden striations, alongside versions with green and white meteorite dials paired with different gold cases.

All models feature the distinctive sweeping gold gadroons curving around the bezel and are equipped with Piaget’s in-house 501P1 self-winding movement. These new variations have prompted Piaget to open a made-to-order program that offers ten different ornamental stone dials, five leather strap colors, and various hand styles, allowing collectors to create their own unique Andy Warhol watch.

Piaget Polo 79 white gold

The return of the Polo 79 last February in commemoration of the brand’s 150th founding year caused a frenzy in the watch community. At the time, many of us were enamoured with the return of all-gold, integrated bracelet sport watches, much thanks to the revival of the Vacheron Constantin 222, alongside OG mainstays such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Rolex Datejust. Even Breitling got on the bandwagon with new bracelets for their gold Chronomats.

But the original Polo itself had many iterations, in square and round cases, with pronounced polished gradoons that could be diamond-set, and alternate between onyx and lapis lazuli dials, or mother-of-pearl. And out of all them, in particular the 861 C701 in full white gold, is the one brought back to life.

This modern interpretation preserves the original’s slim profile and other distinctive proportions while upgrading the movement to the Ultra-Thin Self-Winding Movement 1200P within its 38mm case. The faithful satin- and polished-ridges keep up its monolithic look.
