Piaget 8065 K61 - 18K White Gold Lapis Lazuli and Diamond Dial

Trade In
Details
A Study In Material And Craft
The 1980s were a period of peak expression for Piaget, a time when the house leaned fully into its dual mastery of watchmaking and high jewelry. This reference 8065 K61 is a perfect artifact from that era, showcasing a design philosophy where the watch case, bracelet, and dial combine to create a single, cohesive piece of jewelry. The use of 18K white gold throughout provides a cool, substantial canvas for the main event: a dial that pairs the deep blue of Lapis Lazuli with the fire of pave-set diamonds. It is a confident and artistic execution, once finding a home at a Sotheby's auction, a testament to its lasting design merit.
The Art Of The Integrated Form
This watch is defined by its seamless construction. The 32mm case flows directly into the integrated 18K white gold bracelet, creating an unbroken silhouette on the wrist. This was a signature of Piaget's design language, transforming the watch from a time-telling instrument into a piece of wearable sculpture. The dial itself is a work of precision, with an outer ring of immaculate lapis lazuli framing a brilliant center of pave diamonds. The intricate white gold carving around the diamond setting is a detail that reveals itself under close inspection, showcasing a level of hand-finishing that is central to Piaget's reputation.
Excellent Condition, Preserved With Care
This example is in very good condition, showing minimal signs of use. The 18K white gold case and integrated bracelet are well-preserved, retaining their original form and finish. The dial is immaculate, with the lapis lazuli ring and central pave diamond field presenting perfectly. The fine gold work surrounding the diamonds is sharp and distinct. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Unisex Elegance For Special Occasions
This is not a conventional dress watch. It is a statement piece for someone who appreciates the intersection of gem-setting, precious metal work, and horology. The 32mm case size and fluid bracelet design make it a compelling unisex option, suitable for anyone who understands that true luxury is often found in the quality of materials and the skill of the execution. It is a watch designed for special occasions, a piece that feels as significant today as it did in the 1980s.

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….
