Piaget 9501 A6 – Integrated 18K White Gold Rare Bloodstone Dial
A Rare Intersection Of Mineral And Metal
The 1970s was the decade where Piaget defined the jewelry watch category, and this reference 9501 A6 is an exceptional example of that era. While the brand is famous for stone dials like malachite or lapis, Bloodstone is a far rarer variant of jasper characterized by its deep forest green color and distinctive red inclusions. Finding this specific stone paired with an integrated 18K white gold case is uncommon. Most stone dial Piagets from this period were executed in yellow gold, so the white gold provides a cooler and more understated aesthetic that highlights the organic texture of the dial.
The Architecture Of Integrated White Gold
The hallmark of high tier 1970s Piaget is the seamless transition between the case and the bracelet. This piece features a fully integrated 18K white gold bracelet that gives the watch the presence of a solid cuff on the wrist. The 29x27mm dimensions offer a balanced “TV Case” silhouette that leans into the sculptural nature of the design. Because Bloodstone was produced in much smaller quantities than other minerals, it represents a more specialized corner of the market. Not to mention the overall excellent condition of the stone alongside the case and bracelet.
Excellent Preservation And Mechanical Health
The watch is in very good overall condition and has been well preserved. The 18K white gold case and integrated bracelet show only very minimal surface scratching consistent with light use over several decades. The Bloodstone dial is completely uncracked, which is the most critical factor for any vintage stone dial. There is a small speck of metal visible inside the crystal at the 8 o'clock position, but it does not impact the integrity of the stone or the overall look of the watch. Mechanically, the manual wind movement is running strong after passing our test bench.
A Specialized Choice For The Piaget Collector
This watch works for the collector who is looking for the more nuanced side of vintage Piaget. It moves away from the high contrast yellow gold look in favor of a monochromatic and sophisticated finish. It makes sense as a foundational piece for a collection because finding another Bloodstone example in an integrated white gold case is a genuine challenge. It is a mature and sculptural timepiece that remains relevant today because it feels more like a piece of art than a standard watch. It is an honest and high integrity example of a rare reference.

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….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
