A stunning testament to Piaget’s mastery of both haute horology and high jewelry, this exceptional timepiece exudes opulence and artistic brilliance. Its cushion-shaped case, crafted in warm yellow gold, frames a mesmerizing lapis lazuli dial—its deep, celestial blue providing a dramatic contrast to the sharp, angular hands, an unmistakable hallmark of Piaget’s bold design language. Yet, the true spectacle lies in the bracelet: an exquisite composition of twisted gold links interwoven with cylindrical segments of lapis lazuli and aquamarine. Sculptural yet fluid, this intricate construction elevates the watch beyond mere timekeeping—transforming it into a wearable work of art. A product of Piaget’s golden era in the 1970s—when the brand boldly redefined luxury through avant-garde forms and pioneering use of hardstone dials—this piece stands as a powerful statement of elegance and individuality. Preserved in excellent overall condition with visible caseback hallmarks and deep individual numbers, the present timepeice is an icon of a time when watches were as much about aesthetic expression as they were about mechanical precision.
