Piaget Protocole 9150 - 18K Yellow Gold Onyx and Pavé Diamond Dial

Trade In
Details

A Statement Of 1970s High Jewelry

The Piaget Protocole was a canvas for the brand's most expressive and luxurious designs, especially during the 1970s. It represented a fusion of high-end watchmaking with the bold confidence of a statement jewelry piece. This example takes that philosophy to its zenith with a rare and striking dial configuration, splitting its face between a deep, glossy black onyx and a brilliant field of pavé-set diamonds. It is a watch that captures the essence of an era when Piaget was a leader in both ultra-thin movements and audacious material use.

A Study In Contrast And Confidence

This specific execution in 18-karat yellow gold is what sets the watch apart. The sharp, clean line dividing the stone from the diamonds creates a visual tension that is both elegant and assertive. The warm gold case acts as the perfect frame, unifying the two distinct halves of the dial. It is a design that is both balanced and dramatic, requiring significant skill in both gem-setting and stone cutting to achieve. The result is less a simple timepiece and more a piece of wearable art that fully embodies the spirit of its time.

A Perfect Dial And Sharp Case

The watch is in overall very good condition. The 18-karat yellow gold case remains sharp, and most importantly, the dial and crystal are perfect. The split onyx and pavé diamond dial is flawless, free of any imperfections that can often affect these delicate materials. The watch is presented on its original leather strap with the correct Piaget buckle. This piece has recently been fully serviced by our expert watchmakers and is confirmed to be mechanically sound.

The Art Of Daily Ritual

This Protocole is for someone who appreciates the intersection of watchmaking and high jewelry. It’s a piece that demands attention without being loud, relying on the quality of its materials and the strength of its design. The manual-wind movement inside creates a daily connection between the owner and the watch, a brief ritual that reinforces the bond with a beautiful and uncommon machine. It is a confident choice that works just as well today as it did fifty years ago.

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….
