The Piaget Hawk’s Eye - Cool-toned precision, carved from stone and light.
This rare Piaget Ref. 9214 from the 1970s captures a unique harmony between technical mastery and natural beauty. At its heart lies the ultra-thin Caliber 9P, a mechanical marvel just 2 mm thick, which allowed Piaget to pioneer the integration of hard stone dials into elegant wristwatches.
Encased in a textured 18k white gold hobnail case, this piece features an untouched Hawk’s Eye stone dial — a swirling, stormy blue sibling to the more common Tiger’s Eye. The result is a dial alive with movement and depth, symbolizing focus, clarity, and poise.
Slim and refined, this rectangular case wears elegantly on the wrist, while the natural striations of the dial ensure no two examples are alike. The watch remains in superb condition and is paired with a minimalist leather strap for understated luxury.
A watch for those who appreciate quiet rarity and Piaget’s artful legacy in stone.

Piaget
Elegance. That’s the word that echoes through every creation by Piaget. Since its founding in 1874 in the quiet Swiss village of La Côte-aux-Fées, Piaget has always done things with a sense of grace and refinement that feels almost effortless — yet is anything but.
Originally a specialist in ultra-precise movements, the maison rose to fame not only for its engineering, but for making the thinnest mechanical calibers the world had ever seen. What began as a pursuit of slimness became a philosophy — watches that disappear on the wrist, but leave a lasting impression.
In the golden decades of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, Piaget blossomed into a symbol of bold creativity and jet-set sophistication. This was the era of malachite and lapis lazuli dials, intricate gold bracelets, and case shapes that blurred the line between jewelry and timekeeping. Their vintage watches from this time remain among the most artistic and distinctive ever made — unapologetically elegant, wildly imaginative, and deeply collectible.
To own a Piaget vintage watch is to wear more than time. It’s to carry a piece of mid-century glamour, captured in solid gold and stone. It’s to appreciate the rare intersection of haute horlogerie and haute couture.
But beneath the beauty lies brilliance. Every Piaget movement, no matter how thin, is crafted entirely in-house — a testament to their quiet mastery. No shortcuts. No compromises.
A Piaget is for the collector who moves with subtle confidence. Someone who understands that real luxury is never loud — it whispers in gold tones and polished stone, in hand-finishing and harmony.
It’s a vintage watch not just to wear, but to be seen in. Timeless, bold, and eternally refined.
