In the world of fine watchmaking, Piaget has always stood as a name synonymous with style and artistic expression. Piaget has expanded its influence beyond traditional watchmaking, engaging with art and fashion in ways that transcend the ordinary throughout its storied history. One of its most iconic collaborations was with Andy Warhol, the pop art visionary whose work challenged the boundaries of popular culture and high art.

Warhol, known for his provocative take on consumerism and fame, was more than a casual observer of time; he appreciated its place in both art and life. His personal collection of Piaget watches reflected this, showcasing diverse designs that spoke to his eclectic aesthetic. For Warhol, watches were more than functional accessories—they were symbols of personal identity and statements of style.

His connection to Piaget went beyond ownership, embodying a mutual admiration that can still be felt in Piaget’s creations today. This legacy is celebrated in Piaget’s series of watches that pay homage to the Warhol era, each crafted with an understanding of Warhol’s artistic ethos and Piaget’s dedication to precision.

The Piaget Polo in white gold is a modern reinterpretation of an icon, showcasing the brand’s signature balance of sophistication and sportiness. Crafted in 18k white gold, its bold yet refined aesthetic is highlighted by a distinctive horizontal guilloché pattern on the blue meteorite dial, complemented by slender markers and dauphine hands. Powered by an automatic movement visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, this watch combines Piaget’s dedication to mechanical expertise with a contemporary style that echoes Andy Warhol’s flair for blending high art with everyday elegance, making it a statement piece that stands out with quiet confidence.

In rose gold, the Piaget Polo takes on a warmth and character that echoes the vibrant palettes often seen in Warhol’s works. This model’s soft, rosy hue is complemented by the Manufacture 534P automatic movement that reflects Piaget’s expertise in mechanical precision. The watch's satin-finish links create a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow, reminiscent of the textured surfaces Warhol explored in his paintings. The Piaget Polo in rose gold is a testament to the timeless nature of art and craftsmanship, bridging Piaget’s heritage with a nod to Warhol’s bold interpretations of colour and material.

The Piaget Altiplano in rose gold showcases a minimalist design that underscores the elegance of simplicity, crafted from 18k rose gold. This ultra-thin watch is celebrated for its refined silhouette, featuring a clean and unembellished jet-black dial that highlights Piaget’s artistry in restraint and precision. The slim case, paired with the warmth of rose gold, exudes a timeless charm, while slender hour markers and delicate dauphine hands add a touch of understated sophistication.

The watch’s automatic movement and white gold finish make it a piece that is as functional as it is beautiful. This Altiplano watch, with its sleek lines and effortless elegance, mirrors Warhol’s unique perspective on art as a reflection of society, embodying an understanding that true style transcends time.
