Piaget Newest High Jewelry Watches Turn Color Into the Ultimate Expression of Luxury

For Piaget, color has never been a decorative afterthought. It has been a defining language, a creative signature, and an essential part of the Maison’s identity for decades. With the unveiling of Colours of Extraleganza, Piaget delivers the final chapter of its ambitious High Jewellery trilogy, bringing together artistry, craftsmanship, and fearless creativity in a collection that feels as much like a celebration of emotion as it does a showcase of exceptional gemstones.

The collection arrives as the grand conclusion to a journey that began with Essence of Extraleganza in 2024 and continued through Shapes of Extraleganza in 2025. Inspired by the creative freedom, glamour, and cultural energy of the 1960s and 1970s, the latest chapter embraces color in its purest and most expressive form. Featuring 65 extraordinary creations, Colours of Extraleganza transforms gemstones, gold, and light into a visual symphony where every piece tells its own story.

What distinguishes Piaget’s approach is its refusal to treat color simply as an accent. Instead, color becomes the foundation of the design itself. Gold is elevated beyond its role as a precious metal and embraced as a color within the composition. Emeralds, rubies, sapphires, opals, tiger’s eye, mother of pearl, and rare ornamental stones are selected not only for their rarity but for the emotional energy they bring when paired together. The result is a collection that feels vibrant, playful, and unapologetically joyful.

The Maison’s relationship with color dates back to 1957, when the legendary ultra thin calibre 9P allowed Piaget to experiment with gem set dials and unconventional materials. That innovation opened the door to a new aesthetic vocabulary that would become one of the brand’s defining characteristics. Today, Colours of Extraleganza builds upon that heritage while pushing it into entirely new territory.

Among the collection’s standout creations is the breathtaking Blue Illusions necklace. Requiring nearly 900 hours of craftsmanship, the piece showcases an extraordinary combination of an 8.52 carat Madagascan sapphire, a 3.30 carat Paraíba tourmaline, and a unique 13.98 carat black opal whose mesmerizing flashes of blue and green seem almost unreal. The necklace is further enriched with custom cut sapphires, baguette tourmalines, and diamonds arranged in a geometric composition that creates a remarkable play of light around the neckline.

Yet it is the collection’s newest high jewelry watches that truly capture the spirit of Piaget’s creative vision. The Maison continues its tradition of seamlessly blending watchmaking and jewelry, concealing exquisite timepieces within spectacular creations that function as both works of art and horological masterpieces. These hidden watches transform necklaces and sautoirs into wearable expressions of elegance, proving that timekeeping can be every bit as captivating as the gemstones that surround it.

Piaget revisits one of its most iconic designs through the Flamboyant Links collection. Inspired by the legendary sautoir timepieces introduced in the late 1960s, these creations combine rose gold with tiger’s eye in a way the Maison has not explored since the 1970s. The centerpiece is a convertible sautoir adorned with a 4.13 carat mandarin garnet that can transform from necklace to choker to wristwatch. It is an elegant reminder of Piaget’s long tradition of merging jewelry and watchmaking into a single artistic expression.

The Gold Swirl collection continues the celebration of vintage inspiration through contemporary design. Drawing upon the curved forms and expressive style of the 1970s, Piaget creates sculptural pieces where rose gold intertwines with blue green tourmalines, orange fire opals, and indicolite tourmalines. Particularly striking is a necklace that conceals a fully diamond paved dial at its center, demonstrating the Maison’s ability to seamlessly integrate horology into high jewelry.

Perhaps the most playful expression of the collection appears in Gems Pop, a vibrant tribute to the Memphis design movement of the 1980s. Here, mandarin garnets, pink sapphires, thulite, aventurine, and opals collide in bold geometric compositions that feel contemporary, artistic, and unmistakably Piaget. The detachable pendant watch, crowned by an 8.30 carat mandarin garnet and a 3.54 carat pink sapphire, perfectly captures the spirit of creative freedom that defines the entire collection.

What makes Colours of Extraleganza so compelling is not simply the rarity of the gemstones or the complexity of the craftsmanship. It is the confidence with which Piaget embraces extravagance. In an era when many luxury houses pursue minimalism, Piaget chooses abundance. Where others seek restraint, Piaget celebrates expression. Every piece radiates personality, movement, and emotion.

The collection also serves as a reminder of Piaget’s unique position within the world of luxury. Few maisons possess the ability to blend watchmaking expertise, goldsmithing mastery, gemstone artistry, and cultural storytelling with such fluency. The creations emerging from the Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire are not merely jewels or watches. They are wearable works of art designed to evoke feeling as much as admiration.

With Colours of Extraleganza, Piaget concludes its trilogy not with subtlety, but with brilliance. Its newest high jewelry watches and extraordinary creations embrace beauty in its boldest form, demonstrating that color remains one of the most powerful tools in the language of luxury. More importantly, they prove that extravagance and elegance are not opposites. In the hands of Piaget, they become inseparable.
