The brief

Piaget has reinterpreted Andy Warhol's late 'Camouflage' self-portraits with a new watch featuring a dial made from 27 pieces of sodalite, turquoise, and gold marquetry. This piece showcases Piaget's expertise in ornamental stones, translating Warhol's printed motif into a painstaking stone marquetry composition.

The camouflage motif is derived from actual military camouflage fabric Warhol's assistant purchased, which Warhol then used in his late self-portraits.

The watch is housed in a 45mm cushion-shaped case in 18k white gold, previously known as the Black Tie Vintage.

The case wears smaller than its 45mm measurement suggests due to seamlessly integrated lugs and a short lug-to-lug length.

The automatic cal. 501P1 movement preserves the slim profile but is described as unremarkable, concealed behind a solid case back.

The watch is based on the ref. 15102, a model Andy Warhol was known to collect.
