5) Black Tie or Andy Warhol

The Black Tie was launched on the market in 1972, a rich period for watchmaking that gave rise to many pieces that have become essential, both in sports watches and in more formal models, including the Black Tie. This watch, designed for men is both classic and original, with cushion-shaped or rectangular models that incorporate prestigious watchmaking complications, such as the perpetual calendar or the tourbillon.

Today this watch has been renamed "Andy Warhol" and reinvented with uan incredible Clou de Paris motif case and an intense blue meteorite dial, in tribute to the artist who owned no less than seven watches Piaget, including the Black Tie (equipped with the Beta21 movement) which he acquired in 1973. After his meeting with Yves Piaget in New York in 1979, the artist became a regular at the Piaget Society. Attending the most glamorous events in New York and Palm Beach, the duo also regularly made their mark among the jet set at Studio 54 or Chez Régine.

Now, thanks to a new licensing collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the watch has been formally renamed after the artist.
