Piaget Ellipse Onyx Pavé Dial — A Golden Icon from 1982

In the world of ultra-thin dress watches, few timepieces carry the charm and craftsmanship of a vintage Piaget Ellipse. This reference 9822, crafted in 18k yellow gold, houses the revolutionary 9P caliber, one of the slimmest hand-wound movements of its era — and a platform for Piaget’s pioneering use of hard stone dials.

The highlight here is the stunning Onyx dial, untouched and beautifully preserved. With its deep black it makes a gorgeous contrast to the pave setting in the center.
