Almost unrivaled in its mastery of Haute Joaillerie watchmaking, the house of Piaget never fails to surprise and delight lovers of the most exquisite timepieces. Inside its Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire workshops in Switzerland, Piaget’s master artisans transform metal and gemstones into magnificent stories. This one is the story of the Piaget bird in a fantasy land. Part of the Wings of Light collection, this bird-inspired bracelet watch is meticulously set with diamonds to emulate the bird’s plumage.
Exactly 491 diamonds weighing more than 87 carats and cut into 69 differently sized marquis-cut shapes are carefully set in three-dimensional fashion. The bracelet boasts a small diamond-set dial on one side of the cuff. Each end of the cuff is set with an exceptional Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond meant to be a reflection of the sun. The spectacular cuff watch features open-worked white gold on the inside to allow as much light as possible to shine through the diamonds. The setting alone requires approximately 800 hours at a jeweler’s bench.
