PIAGET Vintage DRESS WATCH - LAPIS-LAZULI Dail - Ref. 173401 - Automatic - Excellent condition - 18ct White Gold - 1970

Piaget Gentleman Watch Ref. 173401 in 18ct white gold, dating to 1970. A distinctive example from Piaget’s 1970s design era, where bold geometric forms and precious stone dials defined the brand’s creative identity.

This model features a striking lapis lazuli dial, showcasing the natural deep blue stone with subtle golden inclusions, making each piece visually unique. The dial is set within a square “TV-style” case with a beautiful and striking tresse basket weave in 18ct white gold, giving the watch a strong architectural and artistic presence while maintaining refined proportions.

The design is enhanced by the absence of hour markers and elegant Dauphine hands, which complement the clean, modern aesthetic. The combination of a perfectly preserved 18k white gold jewelry bracelet, the intricately detailed geometric case that echoes the engraved pattern of the bracelet, a natural stone dial, and artistic details reflects Piaget’s ability to blend jewelry craftsmanship with watchmaking design.

Inside the watch lies the 2 mm ultra-thin Piaget automatic movement, Caliber 12P1, which powers this beautiful timepiece.
