Footnotes

Back in the 1950s Piaget created a very distinctive watchcase that defied conventions with its unique cushion-shape. It was later owned by Andy Warhol, the emblematic and cultural figure of his era. In 2014, for the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris, Piaget paid tribute to its daring spirit by recreating three timepieces with hardstone dials, creatively revisiting its heritage to create a contemporary look. For the seventh edition of Only Watch in 2017, Piaget presented a yellow gold Black Tie Vintage Inspiration piece with the same aesthetic ethos but featuring a hard stone dial in brown pietersite that recalled the color theme of that year. Known as the tempest stone with its highly charged energy, pietersite is a powerful protection stone, especially against the elements. A special "Only Watch 2017 – Unique Piece" engraving on the back of the case reaffirms the uniqueness of this one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Chabi Nouri, Bonhams' very own CEO was in charge of Piaget as CEO during the creation of this incredible timepiece, and her words highlight the inspiration behind a timepiece that truly needs to be seen in person to appreciate:

"For this creation, the maison has taken inspiration from an iconic era that powerfully expresses the Piaget look, a style that continues to exercise an inimitably bold appeal today through the beauty of its unconventional shapes and audacious colours."

The current lot, in excellent condition, and including its original box and accessories is a truly incredible timepiece that will be rare to come to auction given its piece unique status.
