The New Watches of The Piaget Limelight Gala Collection

Drawing from its original 1970s timepieces, Piaget creates 6 more Limelight Gala watches for women. These comprise three new Limelight Gala Precious watches in blue, yellow and pink to represent the sun’s cycle throughout the day, along with a rainbow version, a 300-piece limited edition Limelight Gala Mother of Pearl Palace watch and a High Jewellery Black Opal model.

These new two-handed Piaget Limelight Gala Precious watches are powered by Piaget’s self-winding 501P1 movement, feature a 32mm bezel and offer a sapphire glass caseback. The 18k white gold Sunrise watch is limited to 18 pieces and incorporates a very intricate “Palace Décor” technique into its 18k white gold bracelet. Its bezel combines 32 blue sapphire gemstones with 10 classic round brilliant-cut diamonds. 289 round brilliant-cut diamonds on the dial are arranged in a snow setting similar to the limited-to-8-pieces Zenith model – also in 18k white gold. The Zenith, however, substitutes the blue sapphires for yellow ones and the bracelet is set with 124 brilliant-cut yellow sapphires and 276 round brilliant-cut diamonds. The 18k rose gold Precious Sunset watch – limited to 50 pieces – features 32 pink sapphires and 10 diamonds on its bezel but this time surrounds a mother of pearl dial.

The Piaget Limelight Gala Mother of Pearl Palace watch is crafted from 18k rose gold but measures a smaller 26mm diameter and features the “Palace Décor” technique on its two-handed mother of pearl dial.
