Piaget Emperador - Onyx & Diamond Pave Dial
White Gold Sophistication, Onyx & Diamond Brilliance
This is a vintage Piaget Emperador Ref. 90256, crafted in the 1980s from solid 18k white gold and powered by a precise manual wind movement. Measuring 34mm across the case, it is paired with its original integrated 18k white gold bracelet with screws, fitting wrists up to 6.75 inches. Weighing 134.6 grams, this substantial piece exudes presence on the wrist.
Case, Dial & Bracelet
The elegant case houses a striking onyx stone dial adorned with diamond pavé detailing and accented by sapphire hour markers at 3, 6, 9, and 12, creating a luxurious and refined display. Slim silver dauphine hands enhance legibility and complement the rich dial. The factory-set diamond bezel beautifully frames the dial, emphasizing its rare design variation. The integrated bracelet is original and intact, with screw links allowing for adjustment, and the dial and crystal are free from any scratches or marks.
Rarity, Condition & Collectability
This Emperador reference 90256 is unusual to find, particularly with this rare onyx and diamond pavé dial variation. It remains in truly untouched, original condition, with all components — crown, dial, movement, caseback, and bracelet — fully authentic. The combination of stone dial, factory diamond bezel, sapphire markers, and integrated bracelet makes this a highly collectible and exceptional example from Piaget’s 1980s design era.
Timeless Appeal
The Piaget Emperador Ref. 90256 is more than a watch — it is a fusion of horological craftsmanship and jewelry artistry, offering a bold yet elegant statement for formal occasions, while remaining versatile enough for sophisticated everyday wear.

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!!!
