Piaget ref. 9081 B 56 - The Blue Planet

Look out into the atmosphere in the dead of night. Hues of blue curdle with the black of midnight in the vast expanse of space. The symphony of the skies soars down to Earth in this 1970s Piaget, with an onyx dial that interacts with a lapis lazuli lozenge. Lapis lazuli, with its deep blue hue flecked with gold, evokes the vastness of the night sky and the stars, while onyx's sleek, dark appearance resembles the mysterious, infinite expanse of space.

A testament to Piaget’s mastery in turning beautiful stone dials from the Earth’s multifaceted terrain into an immortalized timepiece, this watch is imbued with a hidden energy. It features a bold, geometric design, housed in a metallic shell—echoing the cool tones yet intricate crust of the Moon.

The watch embodies the era's love for avant-garde designs and high-end materials, blending the traditional art of watchmaking with dexterous innovation. Not to be forgotten, the 1970s was a decade marked by significant space exploration, such as the Apollo moon landings, which captured a cultural fascination with the cosmos. This watch, too, was created to capture the spirit of just that: the mystery of the unknown.
