Details
An Era Of Unrestrained Creativity
The 1960s and 70s were Piaget’s golden age, a period defined by audacious design and mastery of hardstone dials. This pocket watch is a perfect artifact from that time, a demonstration of the brand operating at the peak of its creative power. It is not just a time-telling instrument but a piece of high jewelry, combining an exotic Lapis Lazuli dial with a diamond-set bezel in platinum. This is the kind of object that cemented Piaget's reputation for turning watches into works of art.
The Purity Of Uncracked Lapis
The centerpiece of this watch is its expansive, unblemished Lapis Lazuli dial. Mineral dials from this era are notoriously fragile, and finding an example of this size and age without any cracks or fractures is exceptionally rare. The deep, cosmic blue of the stone is framed perfectly by the brilliance of the diamond bezel. This is the execution that collectors seek, a pristine canvas that showcases the material in its purest form.
Preserved With Integrity
This example is in very good condition. The Platinum case is well-preserved, and the Lapis Lazuli dial remains entirely free of cracks. The Piaget signature shows a slight smear, a minor detail consistent with its production period and age. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
An Object Of Art
A pocket watch like this is for the connoisseur who appreciates design history as much as watchmaking. It is a statement piece, meant to be handled and admired. The daily ritual of winding the manual movement creates a direct, physical connection to this piece of history, a reminder of a time when watch design was at its most expressive and unrestrained. This is a trophy for the serious collector of Piaget and a testament to an era that will never be repeated.

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….
