Back in the 1950s Piaget created a very distinctive watchcase that defied conventions with its unique cushion-shape. It was later owned by Andy Warhol, the emblematic and cultural figure of his era. In 2014, for the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris, Piaget paid tribute to its daring spirit by recreating three timepieces with hardstone dials, creatively revisiting its heritage to create a contemporary look. The maison followed up in 2017 with the addition of two new examples, including the present example that features a mesmerizing meteorite dial. With its unique one-of-a-kind crisscross pattern, the timepiece offers a subtle yet complex appearance on the wrist. The current lot, in excellent condition, and including its original box and accessories is a truly incredible timepiece that will be sure to fascinate lovers of rare meteorite stone dials and mid-20th century daring and inspired watchmaking.
