(es el) punto de sofisticación (de esta pieza)
is what (makes this piece) sophisticated


Explanation:
"un punto de <cualidad>" is a rhetorical way to say something or someone has a quality. Normally, "un punto de sofisticación" would translate as "a measure of sophistication" but not in this sentence.

Example sentence(s):
  • El diseñador perfila a una mujer sencilla, chic y con un punto de sofisticación irresistible sin peinados extravagantes ni complementos.
  • Con sencillez, clase y un punto de sofisticación que fue agradecido por los presentes.
