When looking for innovative designs, beautiful dials, ultra-thin movements, and offbeat approaches to horology, look no further than Piaget.

While the Swiss maison specializes in all the aforementioned disciplines, certain of its wares manage to combine them to stunning effect. Case in point? This diamond cocktail watch,  Reference 5225.

Measuring 17.5mm in white gold, this diminutive, rectangular ladies’ piece features a stunning, diamond-set bezel and top lugs — the bottom of the case, meanwhile, features a quick-release system to easily detach the multi-strand steel bracelet with diamond-set clasp, which can be swapped for other types manufactured by Piaget. 

The mother-of-pearl dial is set with three diamond indices at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, plus a set of ‘sword’ hands. Powered by the Piaget Cal. 57P quartz movement, the 5225 is a modern cocktail watch that marries the convenience of quartz with the elegance of diamonds — plus the avant-garde approach of a watchmaker unafraid to take risks.

The results are simply spectacular!
