What I love about it is the squared white gold border creates an emphasis on the quite rare dial. While the brand is famous for its stone dials, the vast majority of Tiger Eye examples are found in the standard brown or honey hues. This slice is a dark green color, which is much harder to come by naturally. It is a configuration we have not encountered before, making it a significant find for anyone tracking the era where Piaget dominated the jewelry watch market.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe Exceptional Green Tiger Eye\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe visual impact of this watch comes from the contrast between the organic texture of the mineral and the sharp geometry of the metal. In the 1970s, Piaget was the only brand successfully blending high horology with raw mineralogy. This specific execution feels like a curated commission rather than a standard production model. The horizontal striations of the green Tiger Eye dial create a sense of depth that a standard painted dial cannot match. It represents a peak moment in design where the watch was treated as a piece of sculpture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePreserved Condition And Natural Texture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe case is in good condition and shows honest signs of use consistent with its age. There are some visible scratches on the top left portion of the large bezel, which we have left as is to preserve the original lines of the white gold. The Tiger Eye dial is completely uncracked, which is the most critical factor for any stone dial Piaget from this period. The crystal is in perfect shape and offers a clear view of the natural graining in the stone. Mechanically, the manual wind movement is running strong after passing our test bench.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eA Unique Entry For The Piaget Collector\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis watch works because it is likely the only one of its kind currently on the market. It sits at the intersection of an uncommon metal configuration and an even rarer dial color. For a collector who already owns the standard stone dials, this green variant offers a completely different aesthetic. It makes sense for someone who wants the elegance of a vintage Piaget but prefers a look that is more unique and harder to source. It remains a striking example of why 1970s Piaget continues to hold such a high position in the collector market.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Danny's Vintage Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54865519673635,"sku":null,"price":15000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF4312_c40dbeb4-9fd1-45d8-81d4-bdad218475cd.jpg?v=1774455021","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/piaget-tank-916-18k-yellow-white-gold-tiger-eye-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
