Piaget Celebrates 150 Years with ExtraElegance
An anniversary marked by historical, cultural and stylistic continuity for the brand that celebrated in Paris, with a one-of-a-kind exhibition
Extravagance tempered with elegance is the heart of Piaget style; the essence of the Maison's timeless modernity. This celebratory high jewelry collection rekindles this spirit of daring dynamism, the freedom of artistic expression born in the heady, hedonist, youth-fueled 1960s and 70s. Piaget re-imagines and re-invigorates the fusion of fabulous flamboyance with sublime sophistication. Join us in celebrating 150 years of Piaget through an immersive experience that tells our story of inspiration and innovation, originality and imagination, dedication to perfection, haute horlogerie and high jewelry. Below the highlights of some of the most amazing pieces on show:
Gold Reflections Ring

Terrae Necklace and Earrings
A remarkable challenge for our artisans to work with the tiger eye and rutile quartz: each element is adjusted by hand to perfectly fit the circular shape of the ring. A true display of meticulous precision and craftsmanship! Always taking it one step further, the mix of materials extends to a mix of textures: tiger eye with veins, polished gold and rutilated quartz with golden needles come together, echoing the variety of textures found in nature. The combination of materials and colors evokes the rich variety of nature, with vibrant bursts of color that enliven the earthy tones of the forest, creating a harmonious and captivating aesthetic. An added complexity for our artisans to work with the rutile quartz on this creation: it had to be cut very precisely to perfectly fit the shape of the ring. Precious details: the baguette-cut tourmalines have an inverted setting (the culet is set upwards), giving this beautiful creation an avant-garde and contemporary look. These stones are set to ensure they are protected against other surfaces. A memorable ring mounting: a Piaget signature. Since 2017, Piaget has been innovating with this type of original mounting. A play of materials that truly showcase Piaget’s ability to make its artistic spirit come alive! Tiger eye and rutile quartz come together with tourmalines for a joyful creation.
