Lapis Lazuli & Diamonds – 18k White Gold – 1970s
Bold design. Stone-cold elegance.
This extraordinary Piaget TV 12735 from the 1970s is a breathtaking display of artistic geometry and rare materials. Its distinct TV-shaped case in solid 18k white gold is paired with a factory-set diamond bezel, featuring 46 brilliant-cut diamonds that elevate the piece to a new level of luxury.
At its center, the deep blue Lapis Lazuli stone dial adds natural depth and intrigue. Rarely seen in such flawless condition, it’s perfectly framed by alpha hands and the signature Piaget logo.
Powering the piece is the legendary Piaget Calibre 12P1, one of the thinnest automatic movements ever made. Its ultra-slim profile allowed Piaget to combine elegance, mechanical refinement, and gemstone artistry — all in one iconic piece.
The integrated 18k white gold bracelet completes the sculptural design, giving this vintage Piaget both strength and grace.

Piaget
Elegance. That’s the word that echoes through every creation by Piaget. Since its founding in 1874 in the quiet Swiss village of La Côte-aux-Fées, Piaget has always done things with a sense of grace and refinement that feels almost effortless — yet is anything but.
Originally a specialist in ultra-precise movements, the maison rose to fame not only for its engineering, but for making the thinnest mechanical calibers the world had ever seen. What began as a pursuit of slimness became a philosophy — watches that disappear on the wrist, but leave a lasting impression.
In the golden decades of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, Piaget blossomed into a symbol of bold creativity and jet-set sophistication. This was the era of malachite and lapis lazuli dials, intricate gold bracelets, and case shapes that blurred the line between jewelry and timekeeping. Their vintage watches from this time remain among the most artistic and distinctive ever made — unapologetically elegant, wildly imaginative, and deeply collectible.
To own a Piaget vintage watch is to wear more than time. It’s to carry a piece of mid-century glamour, captured in solid gold and stone. It’s to appreciate the rare intersection of haute horlogerie and haute couture.
But beneath the beauty lies brilliance. Every Piaget movement, no matter how thin, is crafted entirely in-house — a testament to their quiet mastery. No shortcuts. No compromises.
A Piaget is for the collector who moves with subtle confidence. Someone who understands that real luxury is never loud — it whispers in gold tones and polished stone, in hand-finishing and harmony.
It’s a vintage watch not just to wear, but to be seen in. Timeless, bold, and eternally refined.
