Swinging Sixties Timepieces

The Piaget Limelight City Watch Pays Homage to a Lost Era

The Piaget Limelight City watch is part of Piaget's Limelight collection. Inspired by an actual watch from the 1960s, it will bring you back to the Swinging Sixties. The watch features a gold case (either 18-carat pink or white gold), with 100 diamonds encrusted around and on the dial. The strap also features a cushion style that is, yet again, reminiscent of the 1960s.

The Piaget Limelight City watch is classic, but still a flashy reminder of a fallen era.
