Catalogue Note

From the 1960s to 1970s, when Piaget’s most esteemed clientele were primarily situated in Asia and Dubai, the brand had created many uncommon pieces specifically for their collectors. Using the most uncommon raw materials at the time, those special timepieces would often include specific hardstone dials and bezels adorned with either diamonds, rubies, emeralds or sapphires. Extremely attractive, the present timepiece is decorated with emeralds and diamonds around the bezel set to resemble clovers. The watch is furthermore decorated with a sophisticated and well-preserved woven bracelet that is no longer common in modern day watchmaking.
