This year, Piaget beckons us to fall in love anew with the mesmerizing allure of turquoise—an ornamental gem that has enchanted civilizations for thousands of years—through a daring collection of jewellery timepieces. Each design marries the Maison’s storied expertise in gem-setting and goldwork with its fearless use of colour and sculptural forms. From the softly contoured profile of the latest Sixtie jewellery watch to the dramatic drape of the Swinging Sautoirs, Piaget continues to push creative boundaries and honor a spirit of joyful innovation.

Turquoise’s vivid blue-green glow has been venerated since antiquity: the Egyptians saw it as a talisman of renewal, and the Aztecs deemed it the “stone of the gods.” For Piaget, those radiant hues have always evoked the sun-drenched Riviera. Long before ornamental-stone dials became commonplace, the Maison pioneered their pairing with its revolutionary ultra-thin movements back in 1963. By uniting audacious colour choices with technical finesse, Piaget reshaped luxury watchmaking—establishing itself as a trailblazing watchmaker first, then a jeweller.

Today’s turquoise revival channels that same legacy of effortless glamour. At Watches and Wonders, Piaget unveiled the new Sixtie collection, distilled into a bold trapezoidal silhouette that tapers gently toward the wrist. Its uncluttered dial, free of hour markers, lets the stone’s natural luminosity take center stage—a nod to the Maison’s iconic 21st Century Collection of 1969.

Under the visionary direction of Jean-Claude Gueit, the creative team once blurred the lines between timepiece and ornament, crafting statement watches as wearable sculptures—open-work cuffs and pendants that swung freely under the eye. Those mid-century visions resurface today in the Sixtie’s geometric purity and artisanal mastery of colour and gold-smithing.

The Sixtie pays homage to its ’70s forebear—the Andy Warhol watch—through a gleaming gadrooned bezel that mirrors the retro TV-screen shape, a design recently rechristened in honor of its most fervent fan, the King of Pop Art. Now reborn, the trapezoidal dial’s angles are echoed in a meticulously engineered five-row gold bracelet. Together with the intensity of pure turquoise, the result is a timepiece that doubles as an exquisite jewel.

That legacy of boundary-breaking design continues in the new Sixtie Swinging Sautoir. Inspired by sketches once drawn straight onto fashion-magazine pages, this sautoir frames a turquoise trapezoid dial within cascading tiers of hand-twisted, diamond-set gold. A tassel of diamonds and gold swings freely, catching light like rippling water around the centerpiece.

Completing the ensemble is another Swinging Sautoir variation: a rope of twisted gold appears casually knotted around a trapeze-shaped turquoise dial. Intricately crafted by hand, it transforms the watch into a sculptural charm—blurring the distinction between jewellery and timekeeping.

Piaget’s creative fervor reaches a climax in the new Essentia watch. Its unconventional, fluid case envelopes a richly hued turquoise dial inspired by organic forms. A highly polished frame of gold and diamonds embraces the dial, flowing seamlessly into a matching gold-chain bracelet whose links taper gently to embrace the wrist like a precious talisman. Here, haute-couture savoir-faire meets the drama of nature—jewellery-watchmaking at its most daring and joyous.

Throughout every piece, Piaget’s artistry shines: from the chromatic depth of the turquoise dials to the play of light on gadrooned bezels and mirror-polished links, and the sumptuous textures of expertly finished gold. Each creation reaffirms the Maison’s unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, creativity, and colour—a bold heritage born in the free-spirited 1960s, now reimagined for today’s connoisseurs.
