The present bracelet watch , cased in white gold and set with diamonds , represents Piaget ’ s mastery in jewelry time pieces . The dial is concealed by a hinged cover featuring two beautifully rendered flowers . The flower petals are carefully engraved with chase work to provide texture and a life-like appearance . The stamens and carpels on each flower are set with brilliant-cut diamonds , the largest of which weighs approximately 0.60 carats . The leaves are further set with brilliant-cut diamonds , adding flair to the watch . The meshed bracelet adds contrast to the dial , giving the watch a very unique look .
