The new Piaget Sixtie is daring and avant-garde, echoing the flamboyance that marked the late 1960s.
It was 1969 that marked a turning point for Piaget and the wider watchmaking world: staying true to the family motto “Do what has never been done before”, the Piaget family unveiled their 21st Century collection at the Basel Fair.
A new way to wear time was born. Among these avant-garde creations, the trapeze shape gradually established itself as a cult design. This disconcerting shape defies convention and embodies the unpredictable, mirroring the famous trapeze dress by Yves Saint Laurent.
Almost 60 years later, Piaget is celebrating the exacting creativity of its heritage, paying homage to this golden age. Sixtie adorns the wrist like a jewel, sublime as a talisman, revealing a free-spirited femininity that is both instinctive and inspiring. Standing out from the crowd, its trapeze shape unites the Maison’s heritage with the present day in a graceful balance between the geometrical and the delicate.
A jewellery watch or a watch jewel, it epitomises a journey back through time, while carrying forward the Maison’s state of mind. Its sophistication enacts a metamorphosis, reshaping allure, cadence and elegance to transform the everyday.
A harmonious interplay of textures and light, the Sixtie redefines watchmaking with an artistic touch and a hint of extravagance. Drenched in gold down to its finest details, its supple bracelet features interlaced trapeze-shaped links that contour effortlessly to the skin, casting a luminous glow with every movement.
The finely chiselled gadroons on the bezel pay homage to the iconic Piaget timepiece once owned by Andy Warhol, seamlessly blending heritage with modern refinement. On the satin-finished dial, golden hour markers and baton hands align elegantly with Roman numerals, creating a sophisticated yet contemporary aesthetic.
“At Piaget, a timepiece is first and foremost a piece of jewellery.”
Yves Piaget
More than just a watch, Sixtie is a jewellery piece with a rebellious soul—an accessory that subtly challenges conventions with its fluid asymmetrical silhouette. Whether worn alone or stacked with other treasured pieces, it offers a new perspective on elegance, catering to women who appreciate style with a daring edge.
Its unconventional shape embodies both timelessness and individuality, moving to a rhythm that reveals the unexpected with every passing second. Sixtie is not just about keeping time—it’s about making a statement.
Supple and fluid, this iconic accessory curates its own history just like the woman who wears it, becoming a legend while capturing the essence of the present moment. A promise for the women destined to define our era.
