Y ves Piaget's favourite flower is by no doubt the fragrant rose. In the mid-1970s, the fourth-generation watchmaker became a jury member of the Geneva International Competition of New Roses, whose champion would be given a gold rose crafted by Piaget.
In appreciation of his continuous support, the 1982 winner created by French rose breeder Meilland was named the Yves Piaget Meivildo rose.
