Piaget 13409 Automatic - Lapis Dial
A Stone Dial Classic
In the 1970s and 80s, Piaget established itself as the undisputed master of the hardstone dial. This reference 13409 represents that era perfectly, featuring a vibrant Lapis Lazuli dial housed in a stepped 18k yellow gold case. Lapis is prized for its deep ultramarine hue and the natural inclusions of pyrite—often called "fools gold"—which give the dial the appearance of a star-filled night sky. Because these dials are sliced from natural stone, no two are identical, making this a unique piece of horological art that transcends standard production watches.
Ultra Thin Automatic Craftsmanship
While many stone-dial watches from this period utilized manual-wind movements to keep the profile slim, this Piaget utilizes an automatic caliber. It maintains the brand’s signature ultra-thin silhouette while offering the convenience of a self-winding movement. The 32x31mm case proportions provide a balanced, square-adjacent presence that wears larger than its numbers suggest, sitting flush and elegant on the wrist. It is a configuration that highlights Piaget’s ability to merge high-jewelry aesthetics with serious mechanical watchmaking.
Sharp Gold And A Flawless Stone Dial
The 18k yellow gold case is in very good condition, showing sharp, defined steps and well-preserved hallmarks. Most importantly, the Lapis Lazuli dial is in excellent shape, free of the hairline cracks or "crazing" that often plague vintage stone dials. The sapphire crystal is clear, allowing the gold hands and the rich blue of the stone to take center stage. The watch is paired with a leather strap and its original Piaget 18k yellow gold buckle. Mechanically, the watch is running after passing our test bench and ready for its next caretaker.
A Deep Blue Statement
This is a watch for the collector who values color, texture, and rarity. The combination of solid gold and natural Lapis Lazuli offers a level of visual depth that modern watches rarely achieve. It is a sophisticated choice for someone who wants a vintage Piaget that feels substantial and artistic. Whether worn as a formal dress piece or a standout daily accessory, it remains one of the most iconic expressions of 20th-century luxury.

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!!!
