Discover this High Jewelry Limelight Gala diamond watch, with a blue aventurine-glass dial reminiscent of a starry night sky. Exuding femininity, this women's luxury watch is an ode to the 1973 original Limelight Gala, with asymmetrical lugs set with diamonds around an oval blue aventurine-glass dial. The diamonds are shaped in our signature marquise cut. The contrast between the white gold case, white gold ardillon buckle, and dark blue satin emphasizes the glamour of this women's diamond watch, a trademark of Piaget's gem-setting expertise.
The Marquise cut is perhaps the most important in terms of Piaget’s design codes. As legend has it, France’s King Louis XV requested a diamond to be cut in honour of the smile of his beloved Marquise de Pompadour. This new cut allowed the light to shine from the centre of the gemstone, giving it a unique brilliance. Radiance being so dear to Piaget, this unique cut became a signature for the Maison and graces many of its creations. From the very first Haute Joaillerie patrimony collections to the extravagant jewellery watches created in the 1960s, and many of Piaget’s contemporary creations today, the Marquise cut remains a favourite of the Maison.
