Shapes of Extraleganza Collection | Piaget

Piaget’s Shapes of Extraleganza, the second installment in its anniversary trilogy, is nothing short of a poetry in gemstones and motion. Unveiled in 2025, the collection channels the energy of the 1960s–70s Piaget Society, a circle of artists, designers, and free-spirits who embraced boldness, creativity, and expression. Now, Piaget reawakens that spirit — translating it into high jewelry and horology where form and color speak as loudly as preciousness.

Launched during the 2025 couture calendar and premiered in Barcelona, the collection evokes the jet-set glamour and daring visual vocabulary of its era. Its flagship pieces — Kaleidoscope Lights, Wave Illusion, and Flowing Curves — were priced between approximately €1 million and €1.13 million, and reportedly sold almost immediately.

With 51 high jewelry pieces and watches, Extraleganza is a choreography of forms. Triangles, circles, zigzags, waves — each silhouette is imbued with balanced tension and rhythm. Ornamental stones blend seamlessly with diamonds, bringing vivid contrast and depth.

Kaleidoscope Lights

This suite channels psychedelic sunbursts through Op Art motifs. Mosaics of sodalite, jasper, chrysoprase, ruby root, sugilite, and verdite converge in collars, earrings, and watches — crowned by a central 3.01-carat pear D-IF diamond.

Flowing Curves

Soft, organic lines twist across necklines and contours, embracing rare black Australian opals. These opals flicker with spectral color, set against hammered white gold. A vivid blue sapphire anchors the arrangement, lending visual gravity to the flowing design.

Wave Illusion

This necklace feels resonant, kinetic — like a tangible ripple in time. It is set with Tanzanian spinels, including a commanding 10.01-carat red oval spinel and 2.65-carat orange-pink cushion spinel. Accents of ruby, diamonds, and further spinels enhance the depth and energy.

Diamond Exuberance Suite

Here, Piaget embraces geometry and contrast. A striking cocktail ring centers a deeply saturated Colombian emerald, framed by malachite and pavé diamonds. Its matching earrings echo the angular motif, giving life to sculpture in miniature.

Watchmaking

Piaget fuses gemcraft and watchmaking in Extraleganza. The Joyful Twirls cuff watch flows like silk, wrapping the wrist with refined elegance. Its surface glitters with gemstones, while an ultrathin, self-winding caliber pulses within. In contrast, the Altiplano Arty Pop watch bursts with geometry and chromatic energy — emeralds, malachite, diamonds in motion. It houses a hand-wound ultra-thin movement.

The exploration of motion extends further into a kinetic table clock, created in collaboration with artist Alex Palenski, transforming time into a sculptural expression of art. Together, these creations embody Piaget’s dual artistry of high watchmaking and high jewelry.

Feather Masterpiece

One of the most poetic pieces in the collection, a cuff realized in collaboration with feather-marquetry artist Nelly Saunier, stands apart. Using carefully selected goose feathers, Piaget recreates the Yves Piaget rose in living color, with 261 snow-set diamonds evoking dewy luminosity. At its heart lies a reddish-pink spinel from Tanzania. Ingeniously, the rose detaches and transforms into a brooch — beauty in motion.

In Shapes of Extraleganza, Piaget translates 150 years of mastery into creations that resonate with collectors of true distinction.
