Specialist note
The present wristwatch is confirmed by the archives department of Piaget as being produced in 1970.
Preserved in exceptional condition, this striking gold watch with wonderful lapis lazuli hardstone dial is without doubt a masterpiece of Piaget’s 1970s production.
Propelled by the incredible creative momentum of the period, Piaget raised hard stones to the rank of precious stones. The brand soon grasped the value of using these materials and immediately mastered the necessary production skills. Colour became the hallmark of the brand: jade, coral, lapis lazuli, tiger's eye, turquoise. Over 30 different stones were to adorn a stunning array of exceptional models, their interaction with light, inclusions and subtle nuances giving a unique character to each creation. Piaget created astonishing graphic effects by combining various hard stones.
