In 1966, Salvador Dalí introduced his own currency, minted in four denominations: ½, 1, 2, and 100 Dalí d’Or. Earlier, in the late 1950s, Piaget had already demonstrated its flair for innovation by incorporating coin motifs into its watch case designs. This creative synergy culminated in 1967, when Piaget secured the exclusive rights to produce watches, jewelry, and accessories integrating Dalí d’Or coins.
This limited-edition piece showcases a beautifully graduated link bracelet, each link intricately carved with rich texture, leading to a striking pendant set with a 21.6k Dalí coin valued at 2 Dalí d’Or. True to Piaget’s heritage, the design seamlessly blends exceptional horology with refined jewelry craftsmanship, enhanced by the artistic presence of Dalí’s work.
The coin itself bears the profile of Dalí alongside that of his wife and muse, Gala, adding a deeply personal and artistic dimension. Much like Dalí himself, this t.mes piece is bold, distinctive, and undeniably captivating, an extraordinary creation that ensures its wearer stands out for all the right reasons.
