Piaget’s Colours of Extraleganza closes high-jewelry trilogy with 65 pieces

Piaget has closed its Extraleganza trilogy with Colours of Extraleganza, a 65-piece high-jewelry collection that pushes one of the maison’s sharpest watch signatures into jewelry language. The collection draws on the gem-set dials of Piaget’s ultra-thin watches, then stretches those codes through the house’s 1960s and 1970s design vocabulary, where color, geometry and lightness were never decorative extras but the point of the exercise.

Piaget describes the collection as one in which “colour becomes a signature language,” and that framing is the key to understanding the series. Rather than treating stones as accents around a central jewel, the maison builds the pieces around color itself, in line with its broader high-jewelry philosophy of audacious creativity, ornamental stones, playfulness and craftsmanship. The result is less a conventional parure than a translation of watchmaking into high jewelry, with the dial’s disciplined clarity reborn in bolder, more sculptural forms.

The trilogy began with Essence of Extraleganza, released for Piaget’s 150th anniversary in 2024, and continued with Shapes of Extraleganza in 2025. Piaget had already been revisiting its historical signatures in Watches and Wonders 2024, where it expanded on the revival of cuff watches and the Swinging Sautoir first introduced in 1969, along with the Aura watch launched in 1989. Colours of Extraleganza reads as the culmination of that arc, folding those references into a final chapter where gold, ornamental stones and movement all carry equal weight.

That balance shows most clearly in the collection’s standout chapters, including the Gems Pop set, a five-piece group inspired by the Memphis art movement of the 1980s. The reference is telling: Memphis brought color, pattern and wit into modern design, and Piaget uses those same impulses to keep the collection from feeling merely archival. Stéphanie Sivrière has cast color as central to Piaget’s history and heritage, while Cynthia Tabet has pointed to the maison’s longstanding use of strong color, often through contrast rather than pastels.

Seen as a whole, Colours of Extraleganza is Piaget asserting that its watchmaking codes are not confined to the wrist. The maison’s most recognizable visual language, from ultra-thin engineering to gem-set dials and sweeping sautoirs, now lands in high jewelry with the confidence of a house that knows exactly which details make its identity unmistakable.
