Lucien Piccard Carree Lacquer – 14K Yellow Gold Lapis & Tiger Eye Dial
A Pure Expression Of 1970s Design
In the 1970s, Lucien Piccard was known for pushing the boundaries of dress watch aesthetics. This Carree Lacquer features a quadruple stepped yellow gold case that provides significant depth and presence. The dial is a split composition of Lapis and Tiger Eye lacquer, capturing the earthy and mineral-inspired palettes that defined the decade. It's a bold, geometric piece that represents a commitment to high-style jewelry watches.
The Aesthetic Of Semi Precious Materials
The use of lacquer to mimic Lapis and Tiger Eye was a signature move for high-end dress watches during this period. It creates a visual tension between the deep blue and the warm browns of the faux stone. This was a watch designed for a wearer who wanted something expressive and unconventional. The stepped case acts like a frame for the artwork on the dial, making the entire piece feel like a curated object rather than just a timepiece.
Honest Condition And Material Character
The solid gold case remains in good condition, preserving the distinct edges of the stepped bezel. The lacquer dial shows visible degradation on the Tiger Eye side, which is a common occurrence for these specific finishes as they age. It is currently mounted on a clean leather strap. The manual wind movement is running strong after passing our test bench.
A Statement Piece For The Vintage Enthusiast
This is for the collector who values the specific and unapologetic character of seventies luxury. It does not try to be a subtle dress watch. Instead, it leans into the textures and shapes that made that era famous.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
