Unveiled last June in Florence, Italy, the Piaget Metaphoria collection explored the unexpected beauty and strength of a bold and generous nature in high jewelry and high watchmaking creations.

Gold that flows like water, rivers of precious stones in natural parures which shine against the skin… 52 exceptional pieces, crafted from start to finish in the Maison’s ateliers – 41 jewels and 11 watches – were made with remarkable artistry, to mirror and highlight this masterful play of textures and colors.

MAGNETIC UNDULATA

Among these masterpieces lies the magnetic Undulata watch. Subtly mixing the green, blue and iridescent hues into one hypnotic dial, the French artist Rose Saneuil created a miniature marquetry of volume, textures and colors.

This meticulous piece includes a dozen layers of straw, parchment sycamore, leather and elytron, patiently assembled by hand to create a mesmerizing around the off-center hours-minutes counter and the ultra-thin flying tourbillon carriage. A signature manufacture movement, the calibre 670P, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds, when the bezel is set with baguette-cut diamonds. For this limited edition of 8 pieces, Rose Saneuil has carefully cut each element before applying them one at a time on the dial. This diligent operation requires precision and patience, as these infinitely thin materials must perfectly fit. It took her over 44 hours to create this intricate dial, a true signature of Piaget’s incredible know-how.
