Shapes of Extraleganza explores the bold, transformative, and playful elegance that defines Piaget’s iconic aesthetic. As the second chapter in a trilogy—following Essence of Extraleganza—this collection dives into the brand’s creative heritage from the 1960s and ’70s, reimagining and elevating its original concepts. It pushes the boundaries of design and craftsmanship, revives the spirit of innovation, and reaffirms the Maison’s legacy of fearless creativity.
This collection also celebrates Piaget’s deep ties to the art world, honouring its historic collaborations with legendary figures like Salvador Dalí, Arman, and collector Andy Warhol. These partnerships were a natural extension of Yves Piaget’s close friendships with artists and cultural icons of the era—an elite circle known as the Piaget Society.
The 2025 High Jewellery collection from the Extraleganza series delves into Piaget’s rich legacy, blending innovation with nostalgic charm. Shapes of Extraleganza is an artistic exploration of form, colour, texture, light, and volume—an elegant evolution of Piaget’s signature energetic play with shapes.
Each jewellery suite presents a unique artistic narrative, seamlessly merging past and present, tradition and modernity, all infused with Piaget’s signature flair for the unexpected and visionary. Exceptional gemstones are chosen not just for their rarity and beauty, but for how they elevate each collection’s artistic intent. In the Wave Illusion suite, vivid red and orangy-pink spinels take the spotlight, channelling the vibrant colours, playful geometry, and joyful spirit of the 1980s Memphis movement.
Today, Shapes of Extraleganza radiates with the same vibrant energy and excitement, embracing the avant-garde with confidence. The collection features boldly modern and culturally resonant pieces, poised to make their mark in the worlds of contemporary art and design.
