As such, just 86 pieces of this iteration of the Andy Warhol watch will be made. Piaget takes the bold colors splashed across the American creative\u2019s face in the series and plops them right on the dial. Here, sodalite and turquoise stones are the stars in waves of blue, paired alongside satin-finished gold and polished rose gold to add texture and dimension to that camouflage look. Piaget uses 27 pieces in all to make the dial, which it took over 100 hours of R&amp;D and craftsmanship to come to life, into a blend of blue and warm hues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBeating away inside the gadrooned white-gold case lies Piaget\u2019s 501 P1 caliber, an automatic movement that powers those dauphine hands and offers up a 40-hour power reserve. Flip the watch over, and you\u2019ll catch a glimpse of Warhol\u2019s engraved signature, as well as the number of watches in the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cOur objective is to take inspiration from Andy Warhol\u2019s creations without strictly reproducing each of his works on a dial,\u201d St\u00e9phanie Sivri\u00e8re, artistic director of Piaget, said in a press statement. \u201cThe direct connection between Andy Warhol and Maison Piaget is color, particularly through the use of ornamental stones, which remains the common thread of this very distinctive timepiece.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThis isn\u2019t the first time the duo has teamed up, either. In 2024, Piaget was given the go-ahead by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to rename its Black Tie watch (itself a reinvention of the iconic Ref. 15102, a 45 mm cushion-shaped timepiece Warhol owned) in Warhol\u2019s honor. Under the new license, the maison was also able to craft one watch annually that pulled from the artist\u2019s oeuvre. As a result, Piaget dropped the limited Collage timepiece back in 2025, home to blocks of pink opal, green chrysoprase, and yellow serpentine on the dial, now followed by the 2026 iteration (price available upon request). We\u2019ll just have to wait and see what\u2019s in the cards for 2027, then.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \"><em>As part of Art Week NYC, a citywide gathering celebrating contemporary art, Jean-Bernard Forot, Piaget\u2019s Head of Patrimony, is speaking with <\/em>ARTnews<em> senior editor Maximil\u00edano Dur\u00f3n about Warhol\u2019s love of timepieces and the watchmaker\u2019s collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts that grew out of it.
