Throughout the 1970s, the Maison expanded this creative philosophy, combining precious metals, unconventional case shapes, and richly colored stones. Black onyx became one of its most elegant expressions, prized for its deep, uninterrupted color and dramatic contrast against polished yellow gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDating to 1977, Piaget reference 9791 embodies this distinctive era of artistic experimentation. Its architectural octagonal case, crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, frames a polished black onyx dial whose minimalist beauty allows the stone to command attention. Measuring 29 × 32 mm, the watch combines bold geometric design with the refined proportions and jewelry-making expertise that established Piaget as one of the most imaginative Swiss manufactures of the period. Its manually wound mechanical movement reflects the Maison's longstanding tradition of ultra-thin watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHISTORICAL \u0026amp; COLLECTIBLE SIGNIFICANCE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiaget's ornamental-stone watches occupy an important place in vintage collecting, admired for their unconventional design, specialized craftsmanship, and association with the Maison's celebrated creative period of the 1960s and 1970s. Fashioning onyx into a thin, polished watch dial demands considerable precision, as the material must be carefully cut and finished without compromising its integrity. The combination of natural stone, sculptural gold, and traditional mechanical watchmaking makes reference 9791 a compelling expression of Piaget's ability to unite fine horology with the decorative arts. This 1977 example is accompanied by papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWATCH DETAILS\u003cbr\u003eBrand: Piaget\u003cbr\u003eReference: 9791\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1977\u003cbr\u003eCase Material: 18K Yellow Gold\u003cbr\u003eCase Shape: Octagonal\u003cbr\u003eDial: Black Onyx\u003cbr\u003eCase Dimensions: 29 × 32 mm\u003cbr\u003eMovement Type: Mechanical, Manual Winding\u003cbr\u003ePapers: Included\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Box: Not Included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Piaget Pre-owned","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48453431820494,"sku":"591-3001702","price":6995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/2721\/9918\/files\/StudioSession-28474-2Final.jpg?v=1793134663","url":"https:\/\/cdpeacock.com\/products\/piaget-18k-yellow-gold-onyx-dress-watch","provider":"CD Peacock","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
