Aura High Jewellery Watches

Since 1957, high watchmaking and high jewelry have always danced in tandem at Piaget, and this unique savoir-faire reached a new zenith in 1989 with the Aura high jewellery watch.

Fully set with individually calibrated baguette-cut gems, the watch radiated a distinct charisma and energy, with the Aura name encapsulating both its luminous design and the spirit of those wearing it.

The watch's fully integrated case and bracelet marked a new milestone in gem-setting know-how with the bracelet’s seamless articulation.

Piaget now revisits the Aura by combining diamonds with color stones such as sapphires and rubies. Once more, the baguette-cut stones are perfectly calibrated to fit the watch’s form and integrated case and bracelet with a perfect color gradation – a design process that required months to source and select exactly the right stones.

Beautiful both in and out, this exceptional timepiece boasted an ultra-thin movement, the Piaget Manufacture manual winding 430P. The Aura collection is at the very pinnacle of High Jewellery and Watchmaking.

AURA, THE RADIANT ICON OF PIAGET HIGH JEWELRYSince 1957, Piaget has cultivated a singular vision in which haute horlogerie and High Jewelry intertwine with rare naturalness. This convergence reached its pinnacle in 1989 with the launch of the Aura watch, a creation that has become iconic for its aesthetic audacity and technical mastery. Entirely set with individually calibrated baguette-cut diamonds, Aura asserted itself from the moment of its debut as an extraordinary High Jewelry gold watch, radiating a light and energy that are instantly recognizable.Its name evokes this almost magnetic presence, as well as the spirit of those who dare to wear it. More than a timepiece, Aura is a statement—a radical vision of the gold jewelry watch, conceived as a sculpture of light in motion.
A REVOLUTION IN THE ART OF GEM-SETTINGWith Aura, Piaget marked a decisive turning point in the history of jewelry setting. The case and bracelet, fully integrated, form a continuous surface in which each diamond is set with absolute precision. The entire bracelet is perfectly articulated, offering exceptional fluidity on the wrist while maintaining an impressive geometric rigor.Each baguette-cut stone is individually calibrated to follow the curves of the watch with perfect accuracy. This work of extreme complexity gives Aura a rare visual unity, in which light flows uninterrupted, transforming the watch into a shimmering halo.
A CONTEMPORARY REINTERPRETATION IN PRECIOUS COLORSToday, Piaget revisits Aura by enriching its jewelry language with new nuances. Alongside diamonds, vibrant colored gemstones such as sapphires and rubies introduce chromatic gradations of striking intensity. Still cut as baguettes, these stones are selected with uncompromising standards to ensure perfect continuity between the integrated case and bracelet.It took more than eight months for the Maison’s gemologists to assemble stones meeting criteria of color, clarity, and cut with absolute precision. This pursuit of perfection illustrates Piaget’s commitment to High Jewelry, where every detail matters and visual harmony is the result of patient, meticulous work.
WATCHMAKING MASTERY AT THE HEART OF LIGHTBehind its spectacular brilliance, the Aura precious stone and diamond watch reveals equally remarkable watchmaking sophistication. It is powered by the ultra-thin Manufacture caliber 430P, a hand-wound movement developed by Piaget and renowned for its thinness and reliability. This movement preserves the elegance of the watch’s proportions while ensuring impeccable precision.The presence of this ultra-thin caliber testifies to the Maison’s unique ability to integrate exceptional mechanics at the heart of a fully gem-set High Jewelry watch, without ever compromising comfort or aesthetic balance.
AURA, THE ULTIMATE MASTERPIECE OF HIGH JEWELRY AND WATCHMAKINGMagnificent from every angle, the Aura collection embodies the culmination of Piaget’s vision, where technique recedes in favor of light, and watchmaking becomes a setting for jewelry. Each Aura creation is a celebration of material, gesture, and time, driven by uncompromising standards.Through Aura, Piaget affirms an intensely luminous and resolutely contemporary vision of High Jewelry, giving rise to a High Jewelry watch that transcends convention and continues to shine—today and for generations to come.
