Piaget Dress 93431 - 18K Yellow Gold Malachite Dial
A Signature Of The Stone Dial Era
During the 1970s and 80s, Piaget established itself as the master of hard stone dials, transforming watches into pieces of jewelry. The brand championed the use of natural materials like malachite, lapis lazuli, and tiger's eye, making them a core part of its design identity. This reference 93431 is a quintessential example of that philosophy, pairing a solid 18K yellow gold case with a vibrant malachite dial and bezel. It's a watch born from an era of creative freedom, where color and material were just as important as the mechanics.
The Art Of Natural Material
This piece is defined by the deep, banded green of its malachite dial and bezel inlay. Each stone dial is by nature unique, with its own distinct patterns and inclusions. This specific execution, with both the dial and bezel crafted from the same stone, creates a seamless and powerful look. The octagonal case is pure Piaget, a classic shape from the era that allows the natural beauty of the stone to take center stage. It's a confident and artistic expression from a brand at the peak of its creative powers.
Good Condition With Natural Character
The piece is in very good vintage condition. The 18K yellow gold case is in good overall condition, appearing unpolished. The malachite dial presents with several hairline cracks, but as is often the case with vintage stone dials, they are not noticeable to the naked eye and blend in with the stone's natural inclusions and banding. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Confident Collector
The combination of yellow gold and rich green malachite is a bold statement that feels just as relevant today as it did in the 1980s. It's a watch for an individual with a strong sense of personal style who understands the unique appeal of vintage Piaget.

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!!!
