Preserved in exceptional condition, this striking gold cuff watch with vibrant 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. Color became the hallmark of the brand including jade, coral, lapis lazuli, tiger's eye, and 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, combined with their meticulous use of gold to create showpiece jewelry designs which offer timeless appeal.
