Piaget Baignoire 9881 - Lapis Lazuli Dial

The dial is the focal point

This is one of those watches where everything starts with the stone. Deep blue lapis, natural texture, and a tone that shifts depending on the light. On a Piaget Baignoire from the seventies, that dial does all the talking.

The rounded case shape softens the white gold and gives the watch presence beyond its measurements. It wears larger than expected because of that continuous curve.

Why this configuration matters

Piaget in this era leaned heavily into hard stone dials, and lapis remains one of the strongest executions. No two are identical. The depth and natural variation give the watch personality that printed dials simply cannot replicate.

The white gold case frames the blue cleanly without adding warmth. It keeps the watch cool, sharp, and distinctly seventies in tone. On a simple strap, the focus stays exactly where it should.

What you need to know before wearing it

The lapis dial presents well. The crystal is clean. The original buckle is in good condition. The case shows heavier wear on the back and sides than typical age consistent marks. It has been lived in and loved. The watch is running properly after passing by our test bench. 

A classic Piaget stone dial piece

This is not about complication or size. It is about material and proportion. A hard stone dial from one of the brands that defined that look.

For someone who appreciates Piaget at its most design focused, this is a strong example with honest wear and a dial that carries the entire watch.

Every watch we offer has been authenticated and mechanically looked over to ensure immediate usability.
