- Sodalite, turquoise, and two shades of gold come together in Piaget’s Andy Warhol “Camouflage.” Only 86 pieces of this white gold watch, featuring the Caliber 501P1, will be produced.
Andy Warhol’s 1986 “Camouflage” self-portraits serve as the inspiration for Piaget’s new Andy Warhol “Camouflage” watch. On the dial, this is rendered as a marquetry of sodalite, turquoise, yellow gold, and rose gold. The edition is limited to 86 pieces—a reference to the year the original was created.
The pattern emerges from the material
Dark blue sodalite and lighter turquoise form the color blocks, while yellow and rose gold add warm accents in between. The surfaces, which reflect light differently, give the pattern depth. Two faceted hands indicate the hours and minutes; a date window would interrupt the continuous surface.
The stepped cushion shape frames the dial. The rhodium-plated 18-karat white gold case measures 45 × 43 millimeters and is 8.08 millimeters thick; it is water-resistant to 3 bar. It comes with a blue alligator leather strap with a pin buckle.
Automatic movement with a 40-hour power reserve
The 3.63-millimeter-high in-house caliber 501P1 operates at 4 hertz and offers a 40-hour power reserve. The G0A51242 model was created in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
