Piaget Tiger Eye - Curb Link
A rare and captivating example of Piaget’s dedication to both horological excellence and ornamental artistry, this vintage Ref. 98120 from the 1980s showcases a combination of materials and craftsmanship that is seldom seen—especially in this configuration. Crafted in solid 18K yellow gold, the watch features a 26mm case paired with an extraordinarily rare double Curb link bracelet, a luxurious and substantial design element that elevates this piece far beyond typical integrated bracelets. The bracelet alone is a standout—rich in texture, remarkably fluid on the wrist, and part of Piaget’s tradition of blurring the line between fine jewelry and fine watchmaking.
Weighing 76.5 grams, the watch has a presence that reflects its high intrinsic value, while remaining elegant and wearable. At its center lies a mesmerizing Tiger’s Eye stone dial, a natural quartz with characteristic bands of golden-brown and caramel tones. Revered for centuries as a protective and grounding stone, Tiger’s Eye was favored by Piaget during the 1970s and '80s for its dynamic visual appeal and organic individuality—no two dials are alike. This example is further distinguished by painted golden Roman numerals, an uncommon feature that enhances legibility without detracting from the dial’s natural depth and glow.
Sharp, nicely patina'd Dauphine hands sweep over the dial, and the watch is powered by Piaget’s legendary manual wind ultra-thin movement, reflecting the maison’s mechanical prowess during this era. It is fully functional and keeping excellent time, with all components—dial, crown, movement, and caseback—entirely original and untouched. Both the dial and case remain in exceptional cosmetic condition.
This reference is exceptionally rare, not only due to the Tiger’s Eye dial with painted numerals, but also because of the uncommon double Curb link bracelet—a design far less frequently seen than Piaget’s more traditional mesh or textured links. Collectors and connoisseurs will appreciate both the visual strength and the subtle elegance this watch offers.
A true piece of wearable art, this Piaget 98120 is perfect for those who seek rarity, craftsmanship, and the timeless appeal of natural stone dials—executed with the precision and refinement only Piaget can deliver.

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!!!
