The 40mm white gold case measures only 7mm thick, offering a light and comfortable wear. The crown is set with a blue sapphire. The bezel and dial feature a harmonious blend of gem-setting and cloisonné enamel techniques: the upper-left bezel is set with long baguette-cut diamonds and gradient sapphires, while the skeletonized movement is decorated with brilliant-cut diamonds and sapphires, creating a gemstone gradient reminiscent of the meeting of sky and sea.
The lower-right dial section was crafted by Swiss enameller Anita Porchet, using blue, green, and purple cloisonné enamel that gradually transitions from the center to the edge of the bezel, allowing the gemstone gradient to harmoniously integrate with the enamel pattern, evoking the shimmering light on the sea.
The watch is powered by Piaget’s in-house 1201D1 automatic ultra-thin skeleton movement, beating at 21,600 vph with a 44-hour power reserve. The caseback reveals the first-ever gradient-colored movement baseplate, ruby bearings, and an off-center micro-rotor in blued gold engraved with the Piaget emblem.
The watch is paired with a deep blue alligator leather strap, limited to 8 pieces, with official pricing not yet announced.
