The 1970s was an era characterised by extravagance and unbound creativity. During this time Piaget produced spectacular pieces combining voluptuous shapes in gold with mesmerising semi-precious stones. The present watch features an unusual lapis lazuli dial perfectly complimented by an intriguing yellow gold bracelet. Reminiscent of golden vines, the beautiful bracelet wraps around the wrist with superior grace and elegance. The quality of the design and craftsmanship make pieces such as the present lot surprisingly contemporary and the delicacy of the interplay between the yellow gold and the lapis lazuli imbue sophistication and distinction.
