Piaget Ref. 9118 – 18K Yellow Gold with Lapis Lazuli Dial, Manual-Wind Cal. 9P
The Piaget Ref. 9118 stands as one of the maison’s most poetic creations—a watch that blurs the boundary between fine jewelry and horology. At 30 mm across and crafted entirely in solid 18K yellow gold, the case doesn’t merely house the movement; it steals the spotlight with its ornate, hand-engraved bezel. Roman numerals are carved directly into the gold, almost like inscriptions on an ancient artifact, creating a dramatic frame for the vibrant stone dial within.
The lapis lazuli dial is a world unto itself. Deep cobalt blue with tiny gold-fleck inclusions, it feels like gazing into a night sky. No two stones are ever identical, and this particular dial has remarkable saturation—its surface shifting gently as the light moves across it. Paired with slender gold hands, the composition is pure Piaget: elegant, bold, and unmistakably artistic.
Inside beats Piaget’s legendary ultra-thin manual-winding Caliber 9P, the movement that helped cement Piaget’s reputation as a master of slim watchmaking in the mid-20th century. Even today, its thinness and reliability remain impressive, and its presence elevates the Ref. 9118 from a beautiful object into a mechanical jewel.
The 30 mm case size gives the watch a timeless presence—substantial enough to feel luxurious on the wrist, yet refined in the way only a vintage Piaget can be. For collectors attracted to natural stone dials, artisanal goldwork, and Piaget’s golden era of design, this reference brings all three together in a single, deeply characterful piece.
