Object description

Case and Dial Construction

The watch features a 23 x 26mm case crafted from 18ct white gold. The exterior of the bezel is fully set with round-cut diamonds. The watch is fitted with an integrated white gold bracelet featuring a woven or braided decorative pattern throughout its length.

The dial consists of a nested construction featuring a central oval opal surrounded by a mother-of-pearl field. Diamond indices are placed at the hour positions, complemented by white gold Dauphine hands. The Piaget signature is printed at the twelve o'clock position on the mother-of-pearl section.

Evidence for this section
  • “18ct white gold”
  • “diamond set bezel”
  • “Mother of pearl and opal dial featuring diamond hour indices and white gold Dauphine hands”
  • “Integrated 18ct white gold bracelet”

Movement and Technical Specifications

The timepiece is driven by the Piaget Calibre 9P2 movement. This movement is part of the lineage of the 9P calibre, which was introduced by Piaget in 1957. The 9P was engineered as an ultra-thin mechanical movement with a thickness of 2mm, a development that facilitated the production of slim watch profiles.

The watch specifications list the movement as automatic, though the Calibre 9P series is associated with the historical development of ultra-thin manual-winding movements within the manufacturer's range.

Evidence for this section
  • “Calibre: 9P2”
  • “the history of the House of Piaget lies in fine watchmaking with an emphasis on ultra-thin mechanical movements, the most famous being the Calibre 9P”
  • “the 9P was only 2mm thick”

Design Provenance

This reference belongs to a period of production for Piaget in which the company incorporated stone dials into their watch designs. The vendor notes that these designs became a signature element for the brand during this time.

The watch is identified with the reference 9826 D14 and originates from 1970. The design reflects the focus on stone materials and integrated bracelets that followed the release of the 21st Century collection in 1969.

Evidence for this section
  • “These stone dials became a signature of Piaget”
  • “Made 1970”
  • “Reference: 9826 D14”

Open research questions

  • Clarify whether the Calibre 9P2 in this specific watch is a manual or automatic variant, given the discrepancy in the listing.
  • Confirm if the 'D14' suffix in the reference number denotes a specific diamond setting configuration or dial variant.
