The brand has a longstanding relationship with artists, starting with Salvador Dali in 1967. In 1970, photographer Richard Avedon shot actress Anjelica Huston wearing a now iconic Piaget watch necklace, an item that is on display at the new exhibit.
“The Heritage Exhibition” runs through September 30 at Piaget, 323 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, California.
