The Art of Flagrant Discretion.
It starts with a glance. You’re mid-conversation when something catches their eye. Not the movement of your hand, but the quiet gleam of deep blue and gold—a flash of brilliance that says everything without saying too much.
This is the Piaget Tanagra Ref. GOA 15027, a watch that lives up to its name as both a masterpiece and a moment. The lapis lazuli dial steals the show, its ultramarine surface flecked with natural gold veining, as if the night sky itself had been forged into stone. Inside it, pavé-set diamonds sparkle discreetly, framing the bold Roman numerals and reminding you that elegance doesn’t shout—it whispers.
And then there’s the design. The ribbed 18K yellow gold case, a signature of the Tanagra line, adds a sculptural quality to the watch. It’s substantial yet soft, striking yet wearable, its articulated bracelet adapting seamlessly to the wrist. Introduced in 1990, the Tanagra was Piaget’s way of redefining luxury at a time when excess had overstayed its welcome. Its slogan, "flagrant discretion," perfectly captured the tension between standing out and blending in—a balance we at Discreet Peacock know intimately.
Inside, a quartz movement offers precision and practicality, with a date function tucked neatly into the artistry of the dial. It’s a watch for the everyday, though its presence is anything but ordinary. The watch is paired with a Piaget leather strap and its original 18K yellow gold buckle.
Born at the turn of a new decade, it symbolized a return to timeless values, eschewing the vulgarity of mass trends in favor of thoughtful, lasting design. For those who understand that true luxury is felt more than seen, the Tanagra remains a quiet icon. A discreet peacock. A masterpiece of flagrant discretion.
