Piaget

What she doesn't know about the Limelight line.....does it matter?

 

 

 What is it about this simple watch that caught the eye of the current Mrs MTF?  We were perusing the latest watch magazine (as you do) and suddenly we have little expressions of "ooo-er, that looks nice"; fingers are pointing, excited exclamations are exuding and closer inspections warranted.

Alarm bells are ringing.....in my head.....quick: a diversion is needed!  Too late, Ethel  --  she had copped a good look.

I must admit that I was strangely attracted to the silvered motif myself....kinda evocative of coral fronds.  This is despite my natural aversion to mother-of-pearl dials. Ultra-slim but a large (for lady) 38 mm diameter case. And it's a mechanical movement  --  Bravo Piaget!  Ladies like mechanical movements too and don't have to be restricted to quartz movements just because there are a few diamonds on the bezel.

Then, she showed me this photo:

 

 

 

 





Ref. G0A34182

Well, that IS different.

The dial is luminous like a backlight and the coral frond "shadows" are highlighted in extra bright Superluminova. And you can't even go diving with this watch!  smile

My only complaint is that it's on a satin strap.  Funny, how a guy would consider sharing a watch like this with nary a care about the bling but absolutely draw the line at the satin........that is the deal breaker for the MTF family...it's got to be a shareable.

Altiplano (Large model)
18-carat white gold case set with 78 brilliant-cut diamonds (circa 0.7 ct)
Mother of pearl dial, silvered coral motif and luminescent coral inspiration motif
Manufacture Piaget 430P ultra-thin mechanical hand-wound movement (2.1 mm movement thickness)
Cadence: 21,600 vph
Power reserve: circa 40 hours
Finishing: circular Côtes de Genève, circular grained mainplate, bevelled bridges, blued screws

What she doesn't know is that there are matching Piaget accessories........shhhhh.  That would be The End for me !

Would any of the PuristS out there consider this watch in your collection?

For males or females or shared?
