It is recognisable at first glance by its round case enhanced by two dainty elongated asymmetrical lugs, its voluptuous curves highlighted by a bezel set with graded round diamonds, as well as its pure dial punctuated by slender Roman numerals. The Limelight Gala is the epitome of absolute femininity according to Piaget: inherently elegant and supremely sensual.

Everything, in the timepiece, is about aesthetics, balance, proportions, and details.Born in the 1970s and revisited for the first time in 2013 on a satin strap, it now appears in an exclusively gold-clad version featuring a Milanese mesh strap complementing its generous curves.

Seamlessly integrated within the case (diameter 32mm) and meticulously adjusted, the Milanese mesh bracelet makes a perfect match with the bezel and its diamond-set elongated asymmetrical lugs. The superbly supple and silky noble material flows and shimmers over the skin while the intrinsic wearer comfort reflecting the superlative standards of the Maison is as exceptional as ever.
