This Piaget Ref. 9771 is not just a watch, it is a statement of artistry and rarity. Crafted in 18K white gold and measuring 31mm, it was considered oversized for its era, making it one of the most distinctive stone-dial creations Piaget ever released. The dial is a spectacular composition that brings together three elements rarely seen in harmony: a natural black opal disc alive with flashes of blue and green fire, a contrasting ring of deep black onyx, and a delicate circle of brilliant-cut diamonds. This trio creates an effect that is both architectural and poetic, shimmering with light and shadow as the wrist moves. Few vintage Piaget models combine opal, onyx, and diamonds in a single execution, which makes this reference particularly special. Powering the piece is Piaget's celebrated hand-wound Caliber 9P2, the ultra-thin mechanical engine that defined an era of discreet elegance. Its presence ensures that behind the jewelry-like surface lies genuine haute horlogerie. Even more remarkable is the bracelet: an intricate white-gold construction whose unusual pattern sets it apart from the more common mesh or beads-of-rice designs Piaget typically employed. The tactile fluidity of this bracelet, combined with its rarity, makes it a collector's delight in its own right. Ref. 9771 exemplifies Piaget's unique mastery at the intersection of jewelry and watchmaking. It is not simply a timepiece but a wearable artwork, a synthesis of materials and craftsmanship that captures the spirit of 1980s luxury at its most daring. Today, it remains a symbol of elegance, rarity, and the creative boldness that continues to define Piaget's legacy.
