Piaget Integrated 18K WG - Lapis Lazuli Dial
The Intersection Of Stone And White Gold
Piaget defined 1980s luxury through an obsession with natural materials and ultra-thin watchmaking. This reference 9286 A6 is a prime example, featuring a deep blue lapis lazuli dial that provides a depth of color impossible to achieve with paint. The integrated 18k white gold bracelet transitions seamlessly into the case, turning the watch into a single, cohesive piece of jewelry. While yellow gold was the standard of the era, white gold offers a more understated and monochromatic look that allows the natural character of the stone dial to take center stage.
Significant Craftsmanship And Material Depth
The use of lapis lazuli is a hallmark of the highest tier of Piaget's jewelry era, where each dial is unique due to the natural variations in the stone. The integrated bracelet is a masterclass in gold work, providing a fluid fit that follows the contours of the wrist and gives the piece substantial presence. This configuration represents the brand at its most confident, combining a world-class manual wind movement with materials that carry significant intrinsic value and historical weight.
Very Good Condition With Honest Details
The 18k white gold case and integrated bracelet are in very good condition, showing a substantial weight and sharp original finishing throughout. There is some minor yellowing on the back of the case which is expected for white gold of this era and is not visible when the watch is worn. The lapis dial is well-preserved, though a few small specks are visible on the surface of the stone under scrutiny. The manual wind movement is running strong after passing our test bench.
A Sophisticated Statement Piece
This is a sophisticated choice for the collector who values the era of stone-dial Piagets but wants something more unique than common yellow gold references. The white gold construction gives it a stealthy presence while the lapis dial provides a vibrant pop of color. It is a sculptural timekeeper that works perfectly as a refined statement piece today. It remains a wearable and historically significant example of the most creative period in the history of the brand.

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!!!
