Vintage Baume & Mercier Ladies Lapis Lazuli Dial Wristwatch 18K yellow gold

Vintage Baume & Mercier ladies wristwatch in 18K yellow gold featuring a striking lapis lazuli dial, circa 1970s.

This elegant timepiece reflects the distinctive design language of the era, combining bold natural stone with refined Swiss craftsmanship. The rich blue lapis dial displays subtle natural variations and depth, complemented by gold hands and minimalist hour markers without numerals, creating a clean and sophisticated aesthetic.

The oval gold case is connected to the strap by sculptural “stirrup” style lugs, an architectural detail that adds both visual interest and period character. The watch is fitted with a leather strap measuring approximately 8 inches in length.
