About this model:

The Piaget ref. 99042 is a truly exceptional timepiece, distinguished by its incredibly rare and striking lapis lazuli dial. Renowned for its deep, celestial blue hues speckled with natural golden flecks, lapis lazuli has been treasured for millennia as a symbol of prestige, wisdom, and luxury. This extraordinary dial elevates the watch to a piece of wearable art, each one uniquely patterned by nature.

Encased in a finely striated white gold case, the watch features a wide, textured bezel that beautifully contrasts with the smooth brilliance of the lapis dial. The interplay between the natural stone’s richness and the crafted gold case creates a perfect balance of elegance and boldness.

Piaget’s mastery of craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the flawless finish of the case to the refined simplicity of the dial design, which allows the lapis lazuli to remain the centerpiece. This reference is extremely rare, a masterpiece that combines nature’s splendor with horological excellence, the ref. 99042 stands as a testament to Piaget’s dedication to timeless luxury and rarity.

Make the perfect gift with this fabulous Piaget.
