The 83-Gram Lapis and Pearl Sculpture

This Reference 9065 is a prime example of why Piaget owned the 1970s and 80s "Jet Set" aesthetic. It moves past standard horology into the realm of wearable art, featuring a high-contrast stone dial configuration that is rarely seen in the wild. Executed in solid 18k white gold, the watch carries a significant 83.3-gram heft, giving it a dense, substantial presence that belies its elegant 31.5mm proportions.

A Study in Natural Contrast

The centerpiece is the rare, factory-original multi-material dial. The deep, celestial blue of the Lapis Lazuli center is framed by a shimmering Mother of Pearl outer ring, creating a "target" effect that pulls the eye inward. This is further elevated by twelve factory-set Diamond indices that bridge the two materials. The silver dauphine hands keep the focus on the stones, resulting in a monochromatic white gold and blue palette that feels colder and more modern than the typical yellow gold Piaget's of the era.

Integrated White Gold Unity

The 18k white gold case and bracelet are treated as a single, uninterrupted unit. The integrated mesh bracelet features a complex woven texture that catches light from every angle, flowing seamlessly from the case without the break of traditional lugs. It fits up to a 7.6-inch wrist, secured by a signed clasp with screw adjustments. This design creates a "cuff" effect on the wrist, making the watch feel like a permanent piece of jewelry rather than an accessory.

Excellent Condition & Integrity

This example is a true survivor, presented in excellent, untouched cosmetic condition. Both the stone dial and the crystal are free from scratches, cracks, or marks—a critical detail for collectors of vintage stone dials where any hairline fracture can ruin the value. All components are original, including the crown, dial, and caseback. Mechanically, the manual-wind movement is fully functional and running strong after passing our test bench. It is a healthy, verified, and exceptionally rare artifact from Piaget’s most creative era.

History

Georges Edouard Piaget founded his manufactory in La Côte-aux-Fées in 1874, and for decades the company's reputation rested on its ability to produce movements of exceptional thinness — calibers that other high houses bought and put in their own watches. When Piaget began producing watches under its own name in the late 1950s and 1960s, it brought that ultra-thin expertise directly to the dial.

The Altiplano is Piaget's flagship ultra-thin collection, a direct expression of that founding expertise. The Grenade is a bold gem-set cocktail watch — all pave diamonds, colored stones, and sculptural bezels — occupying the space between watch and jewel without apology. The Limelight Gala, produced from the 2010s onward, is the modern heir to that cocktail tradition: an 18-karat white gold round case set with diamonds, a slim quartz movement, and a leather strap. All three collections reflect the same dual mastery that Piaget has always commanded: the thinnest movements in the world, in cases worth wearing.

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….
