Piaget Rope 80131

Piaget Integrated Bracelet 80131 Quartz MOP Diamond Dial 18k WG

Founded in 1874 by a young 19-year-old in the village of La Côte-aux-Fées, Piaget was originally nothing but a means for Georges Piaget to earn some extra money as he worked on movements and watches during the winter. After decades of producing watches for other brands, it was not until 1943 that the watchmaker would begin to sign their own watches and develop as the famed watchmaker that they are today. From then on, Piaget began to experiment with ultra-thin watches and push both horological and design boundaries, which eventually led to the brand expanding into jewelry in 1959, perhaps the brand’s best-known avenue today. With their impeccable craftsmanship, audacious style, and dedication to the spectacular, Piaget’s timepieces and jewelry began to coalesce, resulting in timepieces much like the example that we have here, the ref. 80131. Featuring an 18kt white gold case and intricate 18kt white bracelet with a variety of distinct textures, this example celebrates Piaget’s heritage as a jeweller. Boasting a mother of pearl dial with diamond-set hour markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, this timepiece embodies opulence in its totality.
