*Corallium rubrum, specimen not subject to regulation Precious metals worked and textured, original models, coloured stones and extra-flat movements: these have been the watchwords of the House of Piaget since the mid-1950s. Combining the highest level of watchmaking technology with the best jewellery-making expertise, Piaget occupies a very special place in the history of both watchmaking and jewellery.Our set - produced in the 1970s - is a rare example of the creative daring of the House, marked by great aesthetic freedom, combining sculptural design, extra-flat calibre and coloured stones, a reflection of the House's dynamism, linked to the social movements of the time, and of its imagination.11 sets of our set were produced in the 1970s, probably with different combinations of ornamental stones. One of the sets, comprising a necklace, a ring and a watch bracelet (Piaget extra-flat calibre 9P), in yellow gold and tiger's-eye discs, dated 1976, is held in the Private Collections of the House of Piaget.
