Piaget has long been synonymous with elegance, innovation, and craftsmanship, particularly when it comes to their use of hardstone dials, a signature feature of the brand’s ultra-thin dress watches from the 1960s and 1970s. The Piaget reference 9701 in yellow gold with a lapis lazuli dial is a perfect example of this refined aesthetic, embodying the maison’s dedication to both artistry and technical mastery. This watch features an exquisitely crafted bark-finished gold case and bracelet, an intricate texture that enhances the visual depth of the metal while adding an unmistakable vintage charm. The lapis lazuli dial is an exceptionally rare element, its deep blue hue interspersed with natural golden flecks, making each dial unique. The purity of its design is uninterrupted by hour markers, allowing the striking stone to take center stage. Powered by the ultra-thin manual-winding caliber 9P, one of Piaget’s most celebrated movements at only 2 mm thick, the watch remains incredibly sleek on the wrist, epitomizing the brand’s expertise in crafting slim, elegant timepieces. The yellow-gold case and integrated bracelet seamlessly blend into a single sculptural form, further accentuated by the contrast of the lapis dial. A cabochon sapphire set in the crown adds an extra touch of refinement, a hallmark of Piaget’s attention to detail. During the 1970s, Piaget became a pioneer in incorporating hardstone dials into luxury watchmaking, producing pieces that were not only timekeepers but also wearable works of art.
