Piaget Yellow Gold 'Onyx' Dress Watch

There’s something positively sumptuous about an all-gold watch — even more so when paired to an all-gold bracelet. 

Such pieces were all the rage in the 1970s and 1980s, when solid gold permeated the zeitgeist and made its way even into the world of sports watches. However, while a solid-gold dive watch does indeed require a certain personality to pull off without veering into ‘used car salesman’ territory, solid-gold dress watches — like Paris — are always a good idea.

Take this exquisite piece from Piaget, specialists in ultra-thin watchmaking: seamlessly machined such that there’s no perceivable break from watch head to bracelet, it’s as much akin to a piece of jewelry as it is to a more traditional wristwatch. Furthermore, we happily contend that these days, it’s just as appropriate a timepiece for men as it is for women.

Housed in a 23mm 18K yellow gold case with hobnail texturing that seamlessly transitions into a fantastic integrated bracelet with a locking clasp with matching texturing throughout, this Reference 9131 C also features a striking Onyx dial with a 'dauphine' handset and Piaget's ultra thin Calibre 9P manual winding movement.

We don’t get many pieces like this coming across our desks — timepieces whose aesthetics and engineering are an equal match. Once you try this Piaget on, we’re sure you’ll agree!

*Due to the design of this bracelet, sizing alterations may require custom work. Lead time after measurements are established is 4-6 weeks.*

Piaget is perhaps the foremost player in ultra-thin watches and watch movements in the world. Established in 1874 in Geneva and currently under the Richemont Group umbrella, the maison began producing wristwatch movements in 1911, manufacturing the Calibre 9P, its first ultra-thin, hand-wound mechanical movement, in 1957.

In 1960, Piaget released the Calibre 12P, the thinnest automatic movement in the world at the time, at just 2.3mm. It fitted many of its miniature movements into innovative timepieces hidden in coins, brooches, and cufflinks, becoming known equally for its jewelry.

The Piaget Altiplano Ultimate, released as a concept in 2018, became a full production model in 2020. At just 2mm thick, it took the record for thinnest watch on Earth. Today, Piaget continues to innovate in the realm of ultra-thin watchmaking, creating ultra-thin tourbillons, retrograde movements, and more.
