Piaget announces new Limelight Gala watch creations
By Shivani Dubey | 25 February 2025 | Design
The Limelight Gala serves as a tribute to the artistry of Piaget. This season, the luxury watch brand has released two creations to add to the collection
For more than half a century, the Limelight Gala has served as a celebration and symbol of the artistry of Piaget. The collection’s signature features include sensual curves, asymmetrical lugs, and a harmonious fusion of gemstones and precious metals. Now, Piaget has released two new creations to add to the collection.
Since its inception in 1973, the Limelight Gala — as it became known retrospectively — has seen hundreds of iterations, from one-of-a-kind pieces to core collection favourites, each one maintaining the distinctive identity of the original, while remaining versatile with its play on shapes.

Both watches are powered by the self-winding 501P1 Manufacture movement and have a 32mm case that wears bigger thanks to the curves of the asymmetrical lugs that extend from each side of the case and snake sinuously around the wrist. They also feature a hand-engraved motif across the dial and bracelet and have a wavy effect pattern engraving.
The first watch is a showcase of gold framed by 42 brilliant white diamonds, while the second is the Mesmerizing Burgundy model that celebrates Piaget’s colour expertise. The intense ruby root shade is complemented by a carefully curated gradient of gemstones ranging from diamonds and pale pink sapphires through to deep red rubies.

The watches also feature an array of details that pay homage to the glamour and freedom of Piaget Society — the hedonistic 1970s party scene created by Yves Piaget, the fourth generation of the family to oversee the Maison.
Piaget has a rich horological history — with the brand recently celebrating its landmark 150th anniversary. These Limelight Gala watches represent the pinnacle of Piaget craftsmanship, offering a contemporary interpretation of five decades of history that reveal their secrets with each glance and wear.
