Piaget Gala Aventurine (2022)
- The starry dial— flanked by an elegant swirl of 62 brilliant-cut diamonds — transforms the entire timepiece here, which is by now already well known for its distinctive asymmetrical lugs that extend into a sweeping curve around the face. The design — which has history dating back to the 1970s — is complemented by an equally noteworthy movement: the self winding 501P1 manufacture movement. This updated movement beats at 4Hz instead of the previous 530P’s 3Hz, lending greater beat stability whilst keeping power reserve at a solid 40 hours. An intricate Milanese mesh strap, which takes at least eight artisans over 100 hours to create — keeps things classy and wearable for any occasion.
