Piaget. A highly unusual and rare 18K gold bracelet watch with malachite dial

According to the Archives of Piaget, the present watch was manufactured in 1971.

Several other pieces of Incan inspiration have been manufactured by Piaget at this time, in particular necklace watches and bangle wristwatches. Extremely sophisticated, these pieces are real works of art that highlight Piaget's exceptional know how in the work of gold and hard-stones.

Propelled by the incredible creative momentum of the 1960s, Piaget raised hard stones to the rank of precious stones. The brand soon grasped the value of using these materials and immediately mastered the requisite production skills. Colour became the hallmark of the brand: jade, coral, lapis lazuli, tiger's eye, turquoise. Over 30 different stones were to adorn a stunning array of exceptional models, their interaction with light, inclusions and subtle nuances giving a unique character to each creation. Piaget created astonishing graphic effects by combining various hard stones.
