Piaget 9706 - Integrated White Gold Pave Emerald Dial

Details

The Ultimate Integrated Statement

During the 1970s, Piaget wasn't just making watches; they were making jewelry that happened to tell time. This Reference 9706 D2 is the embodiment of that philosophy, where the distinction between the case and the bracelet completely disappears. It's a singular, heavy object of 18k white gold that uses a woven texture to create a finish of such high standard it looks truly woven. The pave diamond dial, framed by a diamond-set bezel, turns the entire watch into a light-catching surface punctuated by the vibrant green of the emerald hour markers.

Seamless High Jewelry Design

Piaget’s mastery of ultra-thin mechanical movements allowed them to keep these integrated pieces incredibly sleek, maintaining a low profile that hugs the wrist. Because the bracelet is integrated, the design is a continuous loop of white gold and stones. This specific example is particularly notable because it remains uncut. Most vintage integrated Piaget models have been tailored for specific owners over the decades, but this retains its original factory length and can accommodate wrists up to 7.5 inches.

Defined Texture And Strong Mechanics

The condition is very good. The intricate woven texture of the 18k white gold bracelet remains sharp and well-defined without the common signs of heavy wear or smoothing often seen on these older textures. The case remains in good shape consistent for its age, and the pave dial is clean with all stones intact. Internally, the movement is running strong after passing our test bench, showing healthy amplitude and timing.

Uncut And Unapologetic

This is a piece for a collector who wants a heavy hitter that doesn't rely on the typical sports watch tropes. It's a high-level, unisex design that works because it doesn't try to be subtle; it relies on the quality of the stones and the complexity of the gold work to make its point.

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.
