Piaget Tank 9297 – 18K WG, White Roman Dial

Details

A Cleaner Perspective On The Tank

Piaget built its reputation on the mastery of ultra-thin movements, and the Ref. 9297 is a perfect vehicle for that expertise. While the rectangular "Tank" silhouette is a historical staple, Piaget’s execution in 18K white gold gives it a completely different energy than its yellow gold counterparts. It feels more intentional and modern. The white Roman dial is the classic, high-contrast choice that anchors the design, providing a look that has remained relevant for decades.

Rare Originality In White Gold

What sets this piece apart is the consistency of the package. It is uncommon to find these mid-century Piaget dress watches still paired with their original strap and buckle, a detail that collectors of this era immediately look for. The 18K white gold provides a stealthy luxury; it carries the weight and prestige of a precious metal watch while maintaining a low-profile, monochromatic aesthetic. This is a watch that rewards the owner rather than seeking attention from across the room.

Condition And Reality

This example has been well-preserved and is in very good condition. The 18K white gold case is sharp and has been maintained well. Both the white Roman dial and the crystal are in excellent shape, showing no significant aging or debris. The original Piaget strap and buckle remain intact and functional, adding to the overall historical value of the piece. Mechanically, the movement is running strong after passing our test bench.

Why It Still Makes Sense

This is the choice for someone who appreciates the elegance of a shaped case but wants the horological credibility of vintage Piaget. It works because it balances the formality of a dress watch with a quiet, versatile palette. It's a sophisticated daily option that fits perfectly into a contemporary wardrobe, offering a level of finish and history that only a top-tier Swiss house can provide.

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….
