Piaget Lady Tank 9161 - 18K Yellow Gold Tiger Eye Bezel

Details
A Study In Earth Tones And Gold
During the 1970s and 80s, Piaget established itself as the master of combining fine watchmaking with goldsmithing and gem-setting. This Tank is a perfect product of that era, pairing the classic rectangular case shape with a bezel carved from a single piece of Tiger Eye. The use of the legendary ultra-thin 9P movement allowed the design to focus entirely on proportion, material, and elegance. The warm tones of the 18K yellow gold case and champagne dial are framed perfectly by the natural, striped pattern of the stone.
A Combination Of Considered Details
This example stands out for its specific execution. The heat-blued hands offer a sharp, cool point of contrast against the otherwise warm palette of the watch, improving legibility while adding a traditional watchmaking flourish. The cabochon crown provides a final jewelry-like touch that connects the design to other iconic rectangular watches of the period. Every element feels intentional, working together to create a watch that is cohesive and quietly confident.
A Clean Case With A Noted Bezel
The overall condition of this watch is very good. The 18K yellow gold case appears unpolished, and along with the crystal and champagne dial, is in great shape. The hands retain their perfect blue color. The Tiger Eye bezel has a few cracks present in different locations. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Art Of Daily Winding
This is a watch for someone who appreciates classic design but wants an execution that is less common than the standard. The thin profile makes it exceptionally comfortable on the wrist. Because it is a manual-wind piece, it requires a daily interaction to bring it to life. The ritual of winding the crown each morning creates a distinct connection between the owner and the machine, a small moment of focus that is lost with automatic movements. It is a subtle and sophisticated choice.

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….
