Piaget expanded its ladies’ Limelight series of high-fashion watches with Limelight Gala in 2016 SIHH earlier this year. Making stylish Limelight watches powered by quartz movements developed in-house, Piaget cuff watches, necklace models and thin gold and diamond models (often with richly colored gemstone dials) were frequently worn by celebrities and jet setters of the era.

Placed on a curve of extreme femininity and continuing the Piaget trend of blending art, design and jewelry, its round 32 mm case is enhanced by two elegant elongated horns highlighted on the bezel by a line of graduated 62 brilliant round diamonds and a buckle set with a brilliant-cut diamond. The appearance of its dial results in a very contemporary, yet classic allure, with its black Roman numerals further refining the bracelet and the clasp.

It was introduced in gold, both white and yellow and held tight with a gold Milanese mesh strap. Each case is set with sixty-two brilliant-cut diamonds while each dial offers gold-toned Roman numerals. The matching white gold or pink gold Milanese mesh bracelets of woven links of metal most commonly associated with men’s watches feature an integrated sliding clasp engraved with a for Piaget. An innovative sliding buckle is extremely smooth and tactile, the individual links so perfectly matched and connected by the workshops that the bracelet is both supple and comfortable and can clasp any wrist size.

Despite the gold and diamonds, its slightly more informal aesthetic also gives the watch a more relaxed look combining the preciousness and informality symbolically straddling the “everyday” and “cocktail” categories. Adjustable to the nearest millimeter through a sliding buckle, the Limelight Gala sits comfortably on the wrist, with it’s curved case and asymmetric lugs.

In keeping with the glamour of these new watches, Piaget recently called upon its Brand Ambassador, Gong Li, to model the new Limelight collection. Embodying beauty, femininity and grace, the Chinese actress is the perfect Limelight Gala symbol of the elegant watch.

The Limelight Gala Collection comprises three particularly distinct models – an 18-carat pink gold watch with white satin strap, an 18-carat white gold piece with glittering dial encrusted with 228 brilliant cut diamonds and bracelet with 451 additional ones, and, finally, an 18-carat white gold wristwatch with black satin strap.
