Piaget stands out as one of the most innovative brands, with its boundless creativity as evident today as it was during the 1960s and 1970s—a golden era for design. It was during this time that Piaget began crafting jewelry and introduced some of its boldest timepieces, including gem-encrusted watches and striking design masterpieces. The wristwatch presented here is a contemporary reinterpretation of one of Piaget’s most legendary models from that period: the Black Tie, also known as the “Andy Warhol” after its famous wearer. Interestingly, instead of embracing the organic or extravagant designs it frequently explored during that era, Piaget chose a more monolithic approach for this piece. The watch features a substantial cushion-shaped case with a stepped bezel, showcasing a bold and structured architecture. Though seemingly simple, achieving the flawless proportions—allowing the watch to exude both elegance and gravitas—was far from “simple.” This model was initially designed to house the groundbreaking Beta 21 movement, the first Swiss quartz mechanism. Acknowledging the enduring charm of its original design, the brand reintroduced it in 2015. This particular model from the revived collection showcases a stunning and jaw-dropping falcon’s-eye dial. While most commonly seen in white-gold cases, this exceptional timepiece features a heafty and rare platinum case, further engraved N° 1. Indeed, this specific watch was manufactured as a unique piece upon special request from a very important Piaget collector, who had the chance to bring this incredible piece to life. A true embodiment of design and sophistication, this exceptional piece is preserved in excellent overall condition, and it is further accompanied by its presentation box and its certificate of authenticity confirming the present timepiece to be N° 1.
