A striking expression of Piaget's creativity during the golden age of design, the present reference 9802 D combines bold aesthetics with exceptional watchmaking expertise. Crafted in yellow gold, the watch features an elegant coral dial whose vibrant colour beautifully contrasts with the warm tones of the case and bracelet. Particularly noteworthy is its original integrated bracelet, an inventive composition intertwining yellow-gold links with black leather elements, creating a distinctive and unmistakably 1970s aesthetic.
Preserved in good overall condition, the watch embodies the refined yet daring style for which Piaget became renowned during the period. Housed within is the celebrated calibre 9P, Piaget's ultra-thin hand-wound movement that established the manufacture as a pioneer of elegant, slim timepieces. Rare and highly original, the present watch represents an attractive opportunity to acquire a distinctive example of Piaget's design-led approach to fine watchmaking.
