As its name suggests, the Piaget Sixtie is bringing back some more funk from the brand’s back catalogue.Its trapezoidal shape is a reference to numerous references from Piaget’s late 1960 releases.The Sixtie is available in steel, two-tone, or pink gold, and powered by Piaget’s in-house 57P quartz movement. 1970s this, integrated bracelet that. Do you really need another octagonal bezel? Piaget has never been one to submit to a trend, and in the same spirit as the late 60s jewellery watches, the new Piaget Sixtie is forging its own path in the watchmaking landscape. There are plenty of unusual case shapes out there, but the trapezoid really holds a special and often untapped space within feminine watches. But now, instead of buying a vintage watch necklace that’s difficult to read and may not even work, you can wear this magnificent trapezoidal watch from Piaget on a standout bracelet.As a watch, the Piaget Sixtie is far more about sculpture than it is about timekeeping. Sure, the Piaget quartz movement behind the solid caseback will keep fantastic time until you need to change the battery or adjust for daylight saving time, but the Sixtie's primary function is to adorn your wrist with retro glamour at its best. The case, directly inspired by a Piaget collection of necklace and bracelet watches from 1969, engages with the trapezoid shape in a hypnotic way.The case is stepped in quick succession, giving the impression of a ripple through water, and it meets the bezel which can either be set with brilliant-cut diamonds. You also have your pick of steel, two-tone, or solid pink gold, depending on how lavish you're feeling.The bracelet is a separate work of art entirely, with a five-link construction that really draws attention to itself. The links are semi-circular, ensuring that each one explores its most thorough highlights and shadows. It must be an incredible thing to watch in motion, with light rippling along its length. By comparison, the dials are simply there to quality this object as a wristwatch. The silver sunburst brushing is tastefully minimal, as are the baton indices and Roman numerals at 12 and 6. The Piaget logo at 3 o'clock fits in nicely given the asymmetry of the case shape, but isn't distracting at all.The Piaget Sixtie pricing and availabilityThe Piaget Sixtie is now available in four configurations.
