Details
A Statement In Solid Gold And Diamond
During the 1960s and 70s, Piaget leveraged its mastery of ultra-thin movements to transform the watch from a timekeeping instrument into a canvas for high jewelry. This Emperador is the ultimate expression of that philosophy. It represents a period when the house operated its own in-house gold workshops, treating the case and bracelet as a single, integrated piece of sculpture. This is not simply a watch with diamonds added, but a piece conceived from the ground up as a seamless work of goldsmithing and gem-setting.
The Art Of The Diamond Setter
This example is a rare, full pave execution, where nearly every surface is meticulously set with brilliant-cut diamonds. The dial itself has a unique, almost liquid texture, a testament to the skill of the setter. The integrated bracelet flows directly from the case, continuing the pattern without interruption. It is a piece with substantial material weight and presence on the wrist. The level of craftsmanship is best appreciated up close, where the precision of the setting becomes clear.
Excellent And Honest For Its Era
Overall, the watch is in excellent condition. The 18K yellow gold case and bracelet retain their original form and finish. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Unmistakable Seventies Glamour
This is a piece for someone who understands and appreciates the most audacious period of Swiss design. It is pure 1970s glamour, a style that Piaget defined and mastered. The watch makes a powerful statement without relying on a prominent logo. It is for the collector who values material integrity, in-house craftsmanship, and a design that is genuinely difficult to find and impossible to replicate today.
