Piaget Wrist Watches
Although many know Piaget for its haute joaillerie, it began as a watchmaking venture in the charmingly named Swiss town of La Côte-aux-Fées. Georges-Édouard Piaget started as a maker of watch movements, founding his firm in 1874. By the 1920s, the company had become a purveyor of luxury timepieces, and its expertise in movements would prove one of its defining strengths.
In 1957, the house introduced the Calibre 9P. Just two millimeters thick, it was then the thinnest hand-wound movement in the world. Three years later, Piaget announced the Calibre 12P, the world’s thinnest automatic movement, at 2.3 mm.
With these ultra-thin movements at their disposal, the brand’s designers were free to create imaginative pieces with little concern for size. At the same time, Piaget was expanding its focus with new ateliers devoted to jewelry making. The influence of the jewelry workshops on the watch business led to some spectacular designs for both women and men.
In the 1960s, Piaget debuted watches with dials made from semiprecious hard stones like lapis lazuli, jade, turquoise and tiger’s-eye, capturing the attention of Jackie Kennedy and other style arbiters. It also introduced the cuff watch — a wide bracelet surrounding a colorful stone dial. In 1979, the company unveiled the Polo, its first luxury sports watch. The horizontal gold bars composing the band didn’t stop at the case; they also formed the dial, allowing the Fort Knox motif to continue seamlessly around the wrist.
Yves Piaget, the founder’s great-grandson, described the Polo as “a watch bracelet rather than a mere wristwatch.” Today, the house still amazes in the realm of super-slim watches with its Altiplano collection. The Altiplano Ultimate Concept is the world’s thinnest mechanical watch, with a profile of just two millimeters, case and all.

Questions About Piaget Wrist Watches
- What is Piaget jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Piaget jewelry is the term for jewelry produced by the Swiss company Piaget. Founded in 1874 by Georges-Édouard Piaget, Piaget began as a watchmaker. In 1959, the Salon Piaget was opened in Geneva, leading to the establishment of workshops for goldsmithing and gem setting and the introduction of the company's first jewelry creations. Luxury jewelry designed by the company's artisans has often cleverly referenced Piaget’s watchmaking origins. An example is the Possession collection, featuring swinging pendants and turning rings that give a nod to the movement of Piaget watches. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Piaget jewelry.
- Is Piaget a jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Piaget is a Swiss luxury brand known for its watches and other jewelry. The brand’s origins go back to the mid-19th century, and they still operate today with many enthusiasts worldwide. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Piaget watches and jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024What country a Piaget watch is from is Switzerland. In 1874, at age 19, Georges-Édouard Piaget began manufacturing handmade timepiece components and movements in a workshop on his family farm in La Côte-aux-Fées, Switzerland. The company expanded into luxury wristwatches and pocket watches under the direction of Georges-Édouard's son, Timothée Piaget. Later, Timothée's sons, Gérald and Valentin Piaget, would lead a team of talented craftspeople into a new era of innovation for the brand in both watches and luxury jewelry. The Piaget family name was trademarked in 1943, and a large manufacturing facility was established in La Côte-aux-Fées. There, they would perfect one of their signatures: ultra-thin movements. In 1959, the Salon Piaget was opened in Geneva, where Piaget also set up workshops for goldsmithing and gem setting, introducing the company's inaugural jewelry creations and establishing a creative hub where artisans were encouraged to push the boundaries of their designs. Today, Geneva serves as the brand's official headquarters. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Piaget watches.
- Are Piaget watches worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024Many watch lovers believe that Piaget watches are worth it. Undoubtedly, the luxury watchmaker has a long and rich history.
The Piaget family name was trademarked in 1943, and a large manufacturing facility was established in La Côte-aux-Fées, Switzerland.

In 1959, the Salon Piaget opened in Geneva, where Piaget also set up workshops for goldsmithing and gem setting, establishing a creative hub where artisans were encouraged to push the boundaries of their designs. In 1963, Piaget released its first collection of watches with ornamental stones set into their dials. The brand's stone-dial watches are undeniable classics of watchmaking. These artful creations caught the eye of such storied tastemakers as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Andy Warhol and Sophia Loren.
However, whether or not it’s worth investing in Piaget watches is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection.

- Who designed the Piaget Polo S?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Designers at Piaget Polo led by CEO Chabi Nouri designed the Piaget Polo S watch.

- Is Piaget a luxury brand?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Yes, Piaget is a luxury brand. In fact, many experts consider the Swiss watchmaker to be one of the most influential innovators in the luxury watch industry. Piaget’s bracelet watch straps are frequently made of yellow gold or white gold, and its cases are adorned with diamonds, emeralds and other gemstones. In the 1980s, Piaget brought verve and color to time telling with hard-stone dials crafted from unusual materials such as lapis lazuli, jade, turquoise, opal and onyx, thus reinvigorating the watch industry with optimism and ingenuity during the quartz crisis. Find a variety of Piaget watches on 1stDibs.

Piaget also has a reputation for developing unique timepieces, often through collaborations. For example, in 1967, Yves Piaget worked with Salvador Dalí on a collection of pieces featuring the Dalí d’Or gold medals of the artist and his wife, Gala. Piaget watches also feature costly materials, such as 18-karat gold and platinum, which adds to their prices. Plus, many Piaget timepieces take several months to craft from start to finish, increasing labor costs and leading to a limited supply that contributes to Piaget's lofty price points.

- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024The history of Piaget watches started in 1874 when Georges-Édouard Piaget began manufacturing handmade timepiece components and movements in a workshop on his family farm in La Côte-aux-Fées, Switzerland. The company expanded into luxury wristwatches and pocket watches under the direction of Georges-Édouard’s son, Timothée Piaget. Later, Timothée’s sons, Gérald and Valentin Piaget, would lead a team of talented craftspeople into a new era of innovation for the brand in both watches and luxury jewelry. The Piaget family name was trademarked in 1943, and a large manufacturing facility was established in La Côte-aux-Fées. There, they would perfect one of their signatures: ultra-thin movements. Valentin urged his design team to “do what has never been done before.” In 1959, the Salon Piaget was opened in Geneva, where Piaget also set up workshops for goldsmithing and gem setting, introducing the company’s inaugural jewelry creations and establishing a creative hub where artisans were encouraged to push the boundaries of their designs. In 1963, Piaget released its first collection of watches with ornamental stones set into their dials. These artful creations caught the eye of such storied tastemakers as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Andy Warhol and Sophia Loren. In 1967, Yves Piaget collaborated with Salvador Dalí on a collection of pieces featuring the Dalí d’Or gold medals of the artist and his wife, Gala. Piaget’s watches have frequently embodied an inventive approach to design, such as the Piaget Polo watch, which was introduced in 1979, popular for its luxurious refinement, and widely imitated in the 1980s. In 2001, the Piaget Haute Horlogerie was opened outside of Geneva, a facility that advanced its work in watchmaking and jewelry. The Swiss luxury watchmaker and jeweler now operates as part of the Richemont Group. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of Piaget watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024Yes, Piaget is generally considered to be a good brand for jewelry. The Swiss watchmaker puts the same level of care and attention into crafting its jewelry as it does its timepieces and selects fine materials like rose gold and precious gemstones to use in these pieces. Luxury jewelry made by the company's artisans has often cleverly reflected Piaget's watchmaking traditions, like the Possession collection, with swinging pendants and turning rings that nod to the movements of watches. The Rose and Sunlight collections of bracelets, earrings and necklaces, meanwhile, reflect natural themes with a bit of Art Deco style. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Piaget jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if a Piaget watch is real, examine its markings. On real timepieces, you should see the correct Piaget logo, the model name, the serial number, the metal hallmark and a stamp that reads "Made in Switzerland." If your watch is missing any of these markings or if there are misspellings or unevenly spaced or misaligned characters, it may be a replica. Next, cross-reference the serial number and model name with information published on trusted online resources to see if these are the right markings for your particular watch. For assistance with the authentication process, consult a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. Explore a collection of Piaget watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024To know if a Piaget watch is authentic, check the back of the case. On a genuine Piaget timepiece, you will typically find the luxury maker's logo, the serial number, the model name or number and the words "Made in Switzerland." Comparing the markings on the reverse of your watch to images taken of authentic watches and published on trusted online resources can help you spot inconsistencies that may indicate your piece is a knockoff. You can also cross-reference the serial and model numbers with information from online databases to confirm a match. If you still have doubts about the authenticity of your watch, a certified appraiser or experienced dealer can be of assistance. Find an assortment of Piaget watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To tell if a Piaget watch is real or fake, try winding the crown. On an authentic Piaget timepiece, you should expect to see the hands move smoothly, and the crown should turn easily. Difficult-to-use mechanisms or hands that stick or jump are indications that a timepiece is counterfeit. Also, examine the markings on the back. Most Piaget watches will have a series of numbers related to the model name, metal type and serial number. By cross-referencing these numbers with information published on trusted online resources, you can see if the numbers match the details of your timepiece and fit the Piaget numbering system. If they don't, your watch is unlikely to be real. For help with authentication, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. Explore a collection of Piaget watches on 1stDibs.
