At Watches & Wonders 2025, Piaget is all set to introduce several new models (except they’ll only be revealed in the next two days), with the Sixtie collection standing out as the highlight of the year. This all-new range features a redesigned case and bracelet, drawing inspiration from the brand’s design legacy while offering a fresh take for today.

A new trapezoidal case shape

Like many watchmakers with a strong design heritage, Piaget created some truly distinctive case and bracelet designs in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, the brand draws inspiration from its past, particularly from those watches with asymmetrical square shapes — or perhaps more accurately, trapezoidal forms — to create the new Sixtie collection.

The Sixtie watch boasts a case that is wider at the top and tapers down towards the bottom, making it a clear example of a trapezoidal shape. However, the excitement goes beyond its shapely form. Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice that the bezel is finely stepped, with five delicate steps that create a gentle slope from the case flank to the crystal at the top. 

This clever design enhances the presence of the case with a broad bezel, giving it a bold and striking appearance, yet it avoids feeling visually heavy, something that would have been the case with a wide bezel of the same thickness throughout. In fact, the stepping is not uniform; the top bezel and case flank are wider, while the three strips in between are finer. This variation creates a rhythm within the design, showcasing the brand’s attention to detail.

Moving from the case to the dial, the inaugural version features a simple yet familiar design — the silver dial and baton indices are unmistakably Piaget. However, there are a few noteworthy details to mention. For instance, the baton indices aren’t strictly rectangular; instead, they are trapezoidal, with a subtle radial enlargement. Additionally, the brand’s logo is cleverly placed at the three o’clock position, replacing the traditional horizontal hour marker.

Currently, the case is only available in a 29mm × 25.3mm size, which is typical for ladies’ watches in the modern era but would have been a gentleman’s watch in the past. The dial is also available in its simplest, most minimalistic format (save for a little gem-setting). It’s worth looking forward to future expansions of the collection, potentially offering larger sizes for matching men’s and women’s watches, as well as more interesting dial designs and materials.

A new bracelet design for the times

It’s probably not an exaggeration to say that half of the excitement around the new Sixtie lies in the bracelet, because it’s rare to find a major brand releasing a brand-new collection that includes a new bracelet as well.

The bracelet of the Sixtie consists of five individual links in a row, with the three middle ones being more rectangular in shape. The two outer links are more unusual — they are essentially trapezoidal, exactly the same shape as the case, but split into two halves, now sandwiching the three regular links. As a result, the bracelet is simple yet still manages to continue the look and feel of the case, creating a genuine integrated effect.

The finishing of the bracelet is simply high-polished, but it works for a small watch like this.

Quartz movement

Inside the watch is the Cal. 57P, a quartz movement by Piaget. Fortunately, the dial only shows hours and minutes, so it doesn’t give away the quartz nature of the movement with the unmistakable one-second ticking. Thanks to the quartz movement, the watch has an incredibly thin profile of just 6.5 mm, offering unmatched wearing comfort compared to most mechanical pieces.
