Lot 268 The following 7 lots, 268 -271 and 273-275, are impressive examples of Piaget's exceptional 1970s watch designs. These watches were intended for a young and avant-garde clientele and were characterized by their asymmetrical shapes, large bracelets and the use of precious stones. The models confirm Piaget's creativity and original and earning it the coveted title of "the jeweller of watch making".
