The 14 most expensive Piaget watches have a combined worth of nearly 3 million dollars. In other words, for just 14 watches, you could buy an oceanfront mansion in Malibu. That spells extravagance. However, these watches are not ordinary watches. While ordinary Piaget watches are a class unto their own, these watches are beyond even that.
George Piaget founded the company back in 1874, and over the course of nearly 150 years, the brand has come to define Swiss class and luxury. In fact, it recently earned the sixth position in the most prestigious jewellery brand list ranked by The Luxury Institute.
