CELESTIAL HARMONY
In celebration of the Chinese New Year of the Dragon, luxury Swiss watchmaker and jeweller, Piaget created a limited edition collection of themed timepieces. The collection features the mythical dragon, one of the most ancient and sacred Chinese totems, with the phoenix, queen of all birds and icon of virtue.
The imperial couple are said to exist in cosmological harmony, with the phoenix symbolising Yin (feminine) and the dragon representing Yang (masculine).
At the heart is a pair of 18K white gold bestiary watches. Powered by a Piaget 56P quartz movement, the dragon is set with 2292 brilliant-cut diamonds, 99 baguette-cut diamonds and 2 cabochon rubies for the eyes, while the phoenix features 300 baguette-cut diamonds and 603 brilliant-cut diamonds with 9 cabochon sapphires adorning the tail.
