Piaget Emperador "Vampire" 9731 - 18K Yellow Gold Tiger Eye Dial

Trade In
Details
A Masterpiece Of Material And Form
During the 1970s, Piaget operated at the intersection of high horology and fine jewelry, creating objects that focused on the seamless integration of material and movement. The Emperador was a canvas for this philosophy, pairing an elegant case shape with exotic stone dials. This example, with its vibrant Tiger Eye dial, is a definitive expression of that era. The stone's natural chatoyancy, the way its golden and brown bands shift in the light, makes each dial a unique piece. This is not just a watch, but a singular object of 18k gold and a statement of confidence.
The Art Of The Integrated Bracelet
This watch is defined by its full 18k yellow gold construction, most notably the intricate, fully integrated bracelet. Piaget treated the bracelet not as an accessory, but as an essential, continuous part of the design. The unique texture flows directly from the case, creating a cohesive piece of wearable sculpture. For a watch of this period, the bracelet is in mint condition, retaining the tight, fluid feel that is so often lost to time. It is a testament to the brand's mastery of goldsmithing and a critical element of what makes this particular Emperador so compelling.
A Well Preserved Example
This piece is in very good condition. The 18k yellow gold case and bracelet are exceptionally well preserved. The Tiger Eye dial presents beautifully. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Collector Of An Era
This Emperador is for the person who understands that Piaget, during this period, was creating wearable art. It is a bold statement of 1970s luxury and design, crafted from a substantial amount of solid gold. The daily ritual of winding the ultra-thin manual movement creates a direct connection between the owner and the object, a quiet moment of appreciation for the craftsmanship within. This piece is as much a bracelet as it is a watch, and it represents a high-water mark for a brand that completely mastered the art of the jeweled timepiece.

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….
