Piaget Sixtie: A Contemporary Take On A 1960s Classic
The Piaget Sixtie brings a distinctive geometry to contemporary watchmaking, reintroducing the trapezoidal case shape in a format that emphasizes refined proportions and technical execution. Measuring 29mm by 25.3mm, with a thickness of just 6.5mm, the case is a demonstration of Piaget’s decades-long mastery in ultra-thin design, a discipline the Maison has cultivated since the 1960s.
At the heart of the Sixtie is a high-precision quartz movement, selected to maintain the svelte profile while delivering reliable performance and reduced maintenance intervals. The quartz caliber allows the case to retain its extremely slim architecture — an important feature given the structural challenge posed by the case’s non-traditional shape.
The case construction emphasizes balance and finishing. Its trapezoidal form features softly contoured corners, integrated lugs, and alternating polished and brushed surfaces to emphasize the angular silhouette. The Sixtie is available in four variants: full stainless steel, 18K 4N pink gold, or two-tone references combining both metals. Two models include diamond-set bezels, each with 51 brilliant-cut diamonds (totaling 0.52 carats), precisely aligned to follow the case’s geometry.
The dial is crafted with a white solar satin-brushed finish, creating a texture that interacts dynamically with light depending on the angle of the wrist. Applied hour markers — a mix of indexes and Roman numerals — are matched to the case metal and paired with baton-style hands. The aesthetic is minimal, providing clarity and contrast against the textured dial background.
One of the most technically notable elements of the Sixtie is its integrated bracelet. Composed of interlinked, trapeze-shaped components, the bracelet mirrors the form of the case, offering both visual continuity and ergonomic adaptability. Piaget engineers have designed the bracelet for a snug, seamless fit on the wrist, enhanced by a concealed push-button folding clasp that maintains the clean visual line of the bracelet when worn.
Water resistance is rated at 30 meters, appropriate for a dress-oriented timepiece of this size and type. The Sixtie is protected by a sapphire crystal and has a closed caseback, in keeping with the quartz movement and jewelry-watch positioning.
Overall, the Piaget Sixtie is a technical reinterpretation of a historical shape, executed with contemporary materials and finishing standards. Its proportions, precision manufacturing, and ultra-thin dimensions make it a distinctive offering within Piaget’s current collection.
