According to the archives of Montres Piaget, this watch was manufactured in 1969. It has been consigned by a private collector and is preserved in excellent overall condition.

A particularly elegant example of one of Piaget’s 1970s watchs, it impresses with the natural lapis lazuli blue stone dial studded with pyrite like a starry sky, beautifully matching the rectangular case with “hobnail” or “clous de Paris” decorated sides.

Founded in 1874 by Georges Piaget in La Côte-aux-Fées, Switzerland, the company opened its first showroom at 40, rue du Rhône, Geneva, in 1959. Piaget rapidly became the specialist for the world's thinnest watches and the unique style of cases and bracelets in 18K gold or platinum, the only case materials the firm allows to enter its workshops. The company is a pioneer in the realm of watches embellished with gemstones, using lapis lazuli, coral, mother-of-pearl, tiger's eye and onyx in an amazing symphony of dials which appeal to customers increasingly eager for colour and variety. Designed for a young and avant-garde female clientele, the watches are characterized by the unusual dial materials.
