Piaget Limelight Gala Mesmerizing Burgundy

While one model is a showcase of gold framed by 42 brilliant white diamonds weighing 4.74 cts, the second Mesmerizing Burgundy model is a vibrant celebration of Piaget’s colour expertise. Once again, the entire watch is hand- engraved with the new motif before the dial is flooded with rich, translucent Grand Feu enamel.

Colour has been central to Piaget’s identity since its early take on ornamental stones. The new burgundy hue introduces a fresh richness to the wrist, opening doors to unexplored colour palettes in watchmaking, which echoes some of the most stunning vintage watches featuring the ruby-root stone. The technique allows the underlying texture to shine through while the intense ruby-root shade is complemented by a carefully curated gradient of gemstones ranging from diamonds and pale pink sapphires through to deep red rubies. A perfect tie-and dye of gemstones, which becomes incredibly hard to source in this high quality.

An array of details which pays homage to the glamour and freedom of Piaget Society, the hedonistic 1970s party scene created by Yves Piaget, the fourth generation of the family to oversee the Maison. The members of this jet-hopping high society became the muses for the original timepieces from Gina Lollobrigida and Elizabeth Taylor to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Andy Warhol. Drawing inspiration from the opulent gowns and the deep ‘pigeon’s blood’ shade of the era’s red carpets, these watches are a testament to Piaget’s rich heritage.

Elevating everyday elegance, these Limelight Gala watches represent the pinnacle of Piaget’s craftsmanship. They offer a contemporary interpretation of five decades of history, revealing their secrets with each glance and wear. As the Maison reaffirms its position at the forefront of luxury watchmaking and jewellery, these new Limelight Gala Editions stand as a testament to Piaget’s enduring legacy of creativity, sophistication, and uncompromising quality.
