Piaget Celebrates 150th Anniversary with Andy Warhol Watch Tribute

Piaget wraps up its 150th anniversary by renaming the iconic 'Black Tie' watch to the Andy Warhol watch under a new license with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Warhol, a legendary member of the Piaget social circle, famously owned seven Piaget timepieces, including the Black Tie Beta21 watch he purchased in 1973. His connection with the brand was strengthened by a friendship with Yves Piaget, which was marked by shared experiences from New York to Palm Beach.

The newly reimagined 'Andy Warhol Clou de Paris' watch features a refined gadroon case pattern and a striking deep blue meteorite dial. Collectors can personalize the timepiece through Piaget’s made-to-order service, choosing from various stone dials, leather strap colors, and case materials. With this homage, Piaget honors its rich history and Warhol’s lasting influence, merging art and luxury watchmaking.
