“Midnight Elegance" This Piaget Ref. 927 embodies the discreet elegance and artistic daring that defined the brand’s golden era in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At that time, Piaget pioneered the integration of high jewelry techniques into watchmaking, boldly introducing natural stone dials in ways that no other maison dared to explore. The dial here is crafted from an exceptionally deep, almost inky specimen of natural lapis lazuli, often referred to as “dark lapis.” Compared to lighter or more speckled examples, this intense shade is far rarer and highly sought after by collectors for its nocturnal depth and the singular character it imparts. The profound blue tone perfectly complements the crisp, geometric square case. The watch measures a refined 25mm across, offering a delicate yet confident presence on the wrist—compact enough to feel understated, yet large enough for the stone’s vivid color to make a statement. The bezel is adorned with intricate guilloché engraving that catches the light from every angle, adding a subtle dimensionality and decorative sophistication. The minimalist, index-free dial layout further enhances the impression of quiet luxury. The case is crafted from solid 18K white gold, whose cool, modern luster contrasts beautifully with the organic texture of the lapis. Inside beats an ultra-thin, manually wound Piaget movement, most likely from the renowned 9P family, celebrated for its exceptional slimness and reliability. The tactile ritual of winding the crown strengthens the personal connection to the piece and reinforces its artisanal spirit. At a time when many luxury brands were shifting to quartz technology, Piaget remained committed to mechanical watchmaking and the refinement of natural materials. This philosophy elevated their creations beyond mere timekeeping into wearable works of art. Today, examples of the Ref. 927 with dark lapis dials are increasingly scarce—especially in such well-preserved condition—and stand as a testament to a singular moment in horological design history. 【Detail】 80s 18WG Manual winding 25mm Watch only Good condition |
