August 27, 2024

The watch and jewelry manufacturer has created a high jewelry collection paying tribute to the 1960s and 1970s to celebrate its 150-year history.

Maison Piaget is celebrating its 150th anniversary with the high jewelry collection, “Essence of Extraleganza.” This collection highlights the elegance and splendor of Piaget’s unique style. It honors the exceptional craftsmanship of gold and color, taking inspiration from the creative 1960s and 1970s to mark 150 years of history.

Featuring 96 stunning pieces, “Essence of Extraleganza” invites you to experience the joyful, sophisticated, and vibrant art of living that defines Piaget’s jewelry. The collection focuses on gold while making gemstones key style elements. Each piece is designed for individuals who seek to stand out as unique free spirits.

“In 2022, when we began designing the 150th-anniversary collection, we decided not to reproduce past models exactly. Instead, we chose to revisit the courage, originality, and elegance they expressed at that time. These elements characterize the spirit of Maison,” says Stéphanie Sivrière, Creative Director of Piaget Jewelry and Watches. Showcasing a rare richness in design, the 150th-anniversary collection presents its jewelry within Piaget’s three symbolic realms: “Extraleganza,” “Piaget Society,” and “When Mastery Ignites Artistry.”

EXTRALEGANCE. The first section, named from the blend of “extravagance” and “elegance,” highlights Piaget’s creative spirit and avant-garde taste. Here, gold and light come to life through models adorned with extraordinary gemstones.

PIAGET SOCIETY. The second section celebrates Piaget’s bold and unique approach to jewelry. It features colorful sets that reflect the dynamic lifestyles of those who wear them, with designs and contrasting stones that symbolize movement and vibrancy.

MASTERY AT THE SERVICE OF ART. The third section, inspired by the craftsmanship of Piaget’s artisans and its historical couture flair, transforms gold with thousands of precious textures and a new fluidity. This collection showcases Piaget’s dual expertise in watchmaking and jewelry, emphasizing perfection in every detail and blending past and present to create a fresh artistic expression.
