The Piaget timepiece that completed the signature style of Jackie Kennedy

‘Jackie’ by director, Pablo Larrain illustrates an intimate portrait of the iconic First Lady of the United States during the Kennedy presidency. The insightful storytelling is flanked by solid performances from the cast—with Natalie Portman’s stunning and poignant ‘Jackie’ driving the film—alongside a remarkable costume department creating impeccable replicas of Jackie Kennedy’s wardrobe.

 

Staying true to Jackie’s legendary style and Larrain’s authentic approach, the inclusion of the treasured Piaget watch was indispensable. That watch takes the form of an oval, 18K yellow gold case set with 20 brilliant-cut diamonds and 4 brilliant-cut green tourmalines frame a natural jade dial, which is fitted with a supple fabric-like bracelet made from gold mesh adorned with the very Piaget ‘palace’ decor.

The timepiece is emblematic of Piaget’s golden age with its fine goldsmithing and coloured stones. To tie in with the release of ‘Jackie’, a special edition of the iconic watch with its characteristic hard stone dial will be released in January 2017.
