This Piaget yellow gold lapis-dial necklace watch belongs to a period design began to lead in watches, and Piaget led that conversation. In the 1960s and 1970s, the maison redefined watchmaking by dissolving the boundary between horology and high jewelry, creating objects that fully blurred the lines between form and function.

Lapis lazuli, prized for its deep blue tone and natural variation, became one of Piagets most distinctive materials of the era. Set against yellow gold, it offers richness without brilliance, depth without over-ornament. Necklace watches such as these were not conceived as novelties, but as considered design pieces. They are fluid, architectural, and intentional. The movements within are discreet and ultra-thin, allowing form and material to remain uninterrupted.

Historically, these pieces reflect Piaget at its most confident: unconcerned with convention, yet precise in execution. They were worn as personal expressions rather than statements of status, often favored by clients who valued artistry over visibility.

Preserved in Excellent Overall Condition with no notable signs of wear, this example retains the clarity and integrity of its original design. A reminder of a time when Piaget asked not how a watch should look, but where it could existand answered with quiet authority.
