Piaget’s glittering watch is a high jewellery showstopper

First unveiled in the 1970s, Piaget’s Limelight Gala Precious Sunrise is still characterised by its asymmetrical profile and the sweeping lines that circle the bezel before continuing their journey along the bracelet. The bold colours that defined the women’s watches of previous decades here give way to bridal-friendly softer shades, with an intricate gradation of pastel blues plotted in brilliant-cut sapphires and diamonds. High jewellery elements continue in both the dial, sprinkled with snow-set diamonds, and the supple bracelet in white gold.

The sparkling new watch is a natural continuation of Piaget’s commitment to high precision and intricate craftsmanship, which has been synonymous with the brand since its inception in 1874. The brand has grown to encompass the production of both technical accomplishments – including ultra-thin movements – and dazzling high jewellery, which Piaget began showing at its Geneva ‘salon’ alongside its watches in 1959. By specialising in goldmsithing and gem-setting, Piaget was able to control every aspect of the process, something that remains key to the brand today.
