Piaget Sixtie 29mm Ladies Watch Silver
Ref. G0A50302
Sits in Piaget’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Piaget watches we list, which start at £5,150.
Price range £5,150 to £44,100 across 23 Piaget watches in stock.The Sixtie takes its name and its geometry from the 1960s, when Piaget established itself as the house that made watches thinner than anyone thought sensible. The trapeze-shaped case is the most visible expression of that instinct — a departure from the round or cushion forms that dominate this end of the market, and a shape that reads as deliberately considered rather than arrived at by convention. At 6.5mm thin, the bracelet and case flow together as a continuous form on the wrist, the integrated solid rose gold links preventing any visual break between the two. The silvered dial carries a solar satin-brush finish that shifts under changing light, while polished rose gold hands and Roman numerals sit against it with enough contrast to read cleanly without effort. The triple folding clasp sits flush beneath the wrist and stays hidden in wear — which matters on a watch this flat, where anything bulky at the fastening would undermine the whole point of the profile.

Learn more about Piaget
Georges Piaget set up a workshop on the family farm in La Côte-aux-Fées in 1874, producing movements for other houses. The name did not appear on dials until 1943, and the decision that defined the company came a decade later.
In 1957 Piaget released the calibre 9P, a hand-wound movement two millimetres thick. The 12P automatic followed in 1960 at 2.3mm, then the thinnest automatic in the world. Thinness became the house obsession and its competitive territory, pursued through decades of records and continuing in the Altiplano line — including complete watches, case and all, under four millimetres.
Extreme thinness forced Piaget into a distinctive aesthetic. There was no room for conventional dials, so the company used hardstone: lapis, opal, turquoise, tiger's eye. The 1960s and 70s cuff watches, with woven gold bracelets and gem-set bezels, made Piaget as much a jeweller as a watchmaker, and the Polo of 1979 gave it an integrated gold sports watch of its own.
The company remained family-run until 1988, when it was acquired by Cartier — later folded into Richemont — and it continues to manufacture ultra-thin calibres at La Côte-aux-Fées while assembling and gem-setting in Geneva.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
