Everything is 18K white gold, which keeps the metal cool and lets the black do the work. The dial is built in layers, a central onyx disc, a string of brilliant diamonds around it, then an outer ring of onyx framing the whole thing. Read from across a table it looks like a piece of jewelry that happens to have hands on it, which was precisely the intention.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut From One Piece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe outer onyx ring is the part worth understanding. It is a single continuous piece of stone with no joins, cut and finished as one ring, which is difficult lapidary work and the reason most makers assembled these frames from segments instead. Onyx is unforgiving under a wheel and a mistake cannot be repaired. The bracelet matches that level of intent, a run of oval links integrated straight into the case, substantial in the hand and fluid on the wrist. It is not a construction that turns up often.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUncracked Stone, Sharp Case\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eCondition here is very good. The onyx is uncracked throughout, both the central disc and the outer ring, which is the first and hardest thing to find on a vintage stone dial. The 18K white gold case and integrated bracelet are sharp and retain their original finish. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Centerpiece, Not A Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is not a watch to wear alongside other things. It works as the single object on the wrist, and it works equally well on anyone regardless of how the catalog once categorized it. White gold, black stone and a ring of diamonds is about as legible a combination as jewelry gets, and the fact that Piaget built it as one continuous object rather than a watch on a bracelet is what keeps it interesting decades later. Pieces from this exact moment in the brand's history are the ones people are looking for now.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12343A15\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated B\u0026amp;W Tuxedo Watch\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1975\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K White Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated Oval Design 18K White Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.1in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Onyx with Diamond String\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K White Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95.6g\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1481\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Piaget","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55454260134179,"sku":"11481","price":25500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF2595.jpg?v=1786386587","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/piaget-tuxedo-watch-12343a15-integrated-18k-white-gold-onyx-and-diamond-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
