For more than half a century, the Limelight Gala has stood as a symbol of Piaget’s artistry, blending elegant design with technical prowess.
The collection’s signature features – sensual curves, asymmetrical lugs, and a harmonious fusion of gemstones and precious metals – have made it an icon of timeless sophistication. This season, Piaget adorns a mesmerising gold engraved pattern on its two new Limelight Gala creations, which embody the Maison’s unparalleled expertise in watchmaking, jewellery and gold-smithing.
Since its inception in 1973, the Limelight Gala – as it became known retrospectively – has seen hundreds of iterations, from one-of-a-kind pieces to core collection favourites, each one maintaining the distinctive identity of the original, while keeping this creation to be so versatile with this play on shape.
Today, Piaget continues as a pioneer of creativity and excellence in both watchmaking and jewellery with in-house artisans specialising in 40 different skills, ensuring that each Limelight Gala creation is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and design. Here, both watches are powered by the self-winding 501P1 Manufacture movement and have a 32mm case that wears bigger thanks to the sensual curves of the asymmetrical lugs that extend from each side of the case and snake sinuously around the wrist.
The two new Limelight Gala watches revives from the archive a hand-engraved motif across the dial and bracelet that underscores Piaget’s reputation as the House of Gold, a title bestowed on the Maison in 1957 when it decided to work exclusively with precious metals.
While one model is a showcase of gold framed by 42 brilliant white diamonds weighing 4.74 cts, the second Mesmerising Burgundy model is a vibrant celebration of Piaget’s colour expertise. Once again, the entire watch is hand engraved with the new motif before the dial is flooded with rich, translucent Grand Feu enamel.
Elevating everyday elegance, these Limelight Gala watches represent the pinnacle of Piaget’s craftsmanship. They offer a contemporary interpretation of five decades of history, revealing their secrets with each glance and wear. As the Maison reaffirms its position at the forefront of luxury watchmaking and jewellery, these new Limelight Gala Editions stand as a testament to Piaget’s enduring legacy of creativity, sophistication, and uncompromising quality.
