Piaget 9040 G1 - 18K Yellow Gold Tiger Iron Stone Dial

Trade In
Details
The Art Of The Stone Dial
During the 1970s, Piaget established itself as the undisputed master of hardstone dials. The brand elevated watchmaking into a form of high jewelry, using natural materials to create unique pieces of wearable art. This reference 9040 G1 is a perfect expression of that philosophy, built entirely from 18K yellow gold and centered on a rare Tiger Iron dial. It represents a specific and confident era of design that remains highly influential.
Gold And Grey Banding
The centerpiece of this watch is its Tiger Iron dial, a unique mineral that combines traditional Tiger Eye with natural iron deposits. This results in a distinct pattern of shimmering gold bands interwoven with metallic grey and black stripes. The effect is organic and dramatic, ensuring no two dials are exactly alike. The integrated 18K gold bracelet completes the look, creating a seamless flow of precious metal from end to end.
Well Preserved And Intact
This Piaget is in good original condition. Critically, the Tiger Iron dial is perfect and shows no cracks or fractures. The crystal is also in good shape. The 18K yellow gold case and integrated bracelet show signs of wear consistent with a watch from this era, and the case is believed to be unpolished. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Physical Connection To Time
This is a watch for someone who appreciates design and material over pure utility. The manual-wind movement requires a daily interaction, a quiet moment of winding that creates a physical bond between the owner and the object. It is a statement piece that is both a watch and a bracelet, capturing the adventurous spirit of 1970s luxury design in a way that feels just as relevant today.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
