| This exceptional Harry Winston timepiece from the 1970s embodies the perfect balance between high jewelry artistry and serious watchmaking. Its most striking feature is the generous use of lapis lazuli, seen on both the top and bottom of the case as well as on the crown. The deep royal blue lapis, naturally sprinkled with golden pyrite, evokes the beauty of a starry night sky. Paired with warm 18k yellow gold, it creates a truly luxurious and sophisticated appearance, a hallmark of 1970s high-end design. At 24×32mm, the case was considered large for its era. While most dress watches of the time measured around 20×25mm, this bold size offers a modern presence while remaining elegant and versatile. It wears perfectly on a slender wrist yet has enough substance to be worn by men or women alike, making it ideal as a unisex piece with timeless proportions. Inside beats a hand-wound movement by Frédéric Piguet, a movement maker renowned for supplying calibers to prestigious maisons such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Breguet. Ultra-thin and finely finished, this movement represents the highest level of mechanical excellence and shows that Harry Winston was deeply committed to true watchmaking, not just decorative artistry. The lapis dial is accented by four subtle diamond indices, adding a refined sparkle without overpowering the natural beauty of the stone. Each dial is unique due to the organic patterns of lapis lazuli, making this watch literally one of a kind. Notably, this example remains unpolished, with only minor hairline marks. The original sharp edges and factory contours are fully preserved, a detail highly prized among serious collectors. Combined with its rarity—very few of these vintage Harry Winston watches survive today—this makes it a true collector’s piece. A harmonious blend of jewelry and horology, it is both a wearable work of art and a testament to timeless luxury. |
