Founded in 1874 by a young 19-year-old in the village of La Côte-aux-Fées, Piaget was originally nothing but a means for Georges Piaget to earn some extra money as he worked on movements and watches during the winter. After decades of producing watches for other brands, it was not until 1943 that the watchmaker would begin to sign their own watches and develop as the famed watchmaker that they are today. From then on, Piaget began to experiment with ultra-thin watches and push both horological and design boundaries, which eventually led to the brand expanding into jewelry in 1959, perhaps the brand’s best-known avenue today. With their impeccable craftsmanship, audacious style, and dedication to the spectacular, Piaget’s timepieces and jewelry began to coalesce, resulting in timepieces much like the example that we have here, the ref. 81241 K437. Featuring an 18kt yellow gold case and intricate 18kt yellow bracelet that are both set with diamonds, this example celebrates Piaget’s heritage as a jeweller. Boasting a diamond pave dial with ruby-set hour markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, this timepiece embodies opulence in its totality.

An incredibly unique and opulent timepiece, the ref. 81241 showcases Piaget's strengths as a watchmaker and jeweler and their ability to combine those talents and create something truly special.
