Piaget 934D2 – Yellow Gold Onyx & Diamond Dial

Trade In
Details

Integrated, classic Piaget language

This is the definitive expression of 1980s Piaget, an era where the brand held a virtual monopoly on the jewelry adjacent dress watch. The design is centered around the total integration of material, where the 18k yellow gold case and woven bracelet are executed as one continuous, fluid object. At its heart sits a deep black Onyx dial, providing a stark, ink-like center of gravity. 

From solid gold into deep space

The transition from the vibrant yellow gold of the bezel into the void of the Onyx dial is sharpened by a factory-set diamond frame. These stones act as a conduit of light, cutting through the darkness of the stone without disrupting its minimalist aesthetic. 

An honest, well-kept survivor

This example is a well-preserved piece that carries the evidence of a life well-lived. The Onyx dial is the standout feature, remaining entirely uncracked. The 18k yellow gold case and bracelet retain their original luster and tight weave. It's important to note that the bracelet shows some visible heat marks and a slight indentation at the 6 o'clock area from a previous professional resizing. While this causes a minor deviation when the watch is laid flat, it does not affect the flow or the comfort of the piece when secured on the wrist. Mechanically, the movement is confirmed to be in great shape and runs well after passing by our test bench.

The textural outlier

This isn’t about modern, sterile perfection; it’s about the weight of the gold, the rarity of the stone, and the soul of a brand that defined the luxury integrated look. It offers a massive amount of presence for its size, serving as a foundational piece for any collection focused on the intersection of jewelry and watchmaking.

 

We offer bracelet extension and cutting by our professional in-house jewelers. Extra links or sizing for smaller wrists are available upon request.

History

Georges Edouard Piaget founded his manufactory in La Côte-aux-Fées in 1874, and for decades the company's reputation rested on its ability to produce movements of exceptional thinness — calibers that other high houses bought and put in their own watches. When Piaget began producing watches under its own name in the late 1950s and 1960s, it brought that ultra-thin expertise directly to the dial.

The Altiplano is Piaget's flagship ultra-thin collection, a direct expression of that founding expertise. The Grenade is a bold gem-set cocktail watch — all pave diamonds, colored stones, and sculptural bezels — occupying the space between watch and jewel without apology. The Limelight Gala, produced from the 2010s onward, is the modern heir to that cocktail tradition: an 18-karat white gold round case set with diamonds, a slim quartz movement, and a leather strap. All three collections reflect the same dual mastery that Piaget has always commanded: the thinnest movements in the world, in cases worth wearing.


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….
