The original has been refinished to attract a new demographic, and now flaunts a case in white ceramic with a contrasting pink gold bezel lit by 52 diamonds (1.3 carats). The dial also exhibits this play of contrasts, with alternating sections in black and white mother-of-pearl. Its pleasing symmetry, well-proportioned elements and lustrous finish add to the winsome quality of this dedicated all-rounder. A chic white satin strap completes the watch.

And as with all Piaget Manufacture movements, the 830P is decorated to the hilt. Circular Geneva stripes, circular-grained parts, beveled bridges and blued screws compete for the wearer’s attention through the sapphire case back. In 18K pink gold with a white alligator strap.

Dressed to the nines, the lugs extend and wrap around the case like a pair of parentheses framing a statement, while a shimmery mother-of-pearl dial forms an elegant backdrop to the elongated Roman numerals that emphasize the lines of the case.

Animating the watch is a new generation Calibre 830P, a whisper-thin hand-wound movement measuring 2.5mm in height. The large case accommodates the movement’s larger balance and barrel that provides a 65-hour power reserve.
