Object description

Case and Dial

The watch is housed in an 18K white gold two-body case, characterized by a combination of polished and brushed finishes. It features hooded lugs and a distinctive nudged bezel. The case back, which is secured by four screws, is engraved with the brand name, the model name, and the specific number 00. The diameter of the case is 43 mm with a thickness of 10 mm, providing a substantial profile on the wrist.

The silver guilloché dial is organized with applied white gold radial Arabic numerals and index markers. An outer minute track with 10-minute Arabic markers is set on a plain reserve. The center of the dial features a brushed disc over the mainspring barrel, which incorporates a black arrow to indicate the hour, while a white gold arrow counterweight serves as the minute hand.

Movement and Mechanics

The timepiece is powered by the Piaget Caliber 608 P, a mechanically complex movement where the bridges rotate from the center once every hour. The lower bridge is configured to indicate the hour, while the upper bridge carries the linear wheel train and the escapement assembly. This assembly revolves as a single unit to track the minutes.

The movement includes a one-minute tourbillon regulator featuring a polished steel cage with three equidistant arms. It is equipped with a straight-line lever escapement, a monometallic balance, and a self-compensating flat balance spring. The mainspring barrel is positioned at the center, underneath the rotating movement assembly. The caliber contains 27 jewels and includes a shock absorber system.
