Piaget usually has blue dial with rose gold case
sandgroper,
Piaget usually pairs blue dial with rose gold case like this ONLY Watch for the Monaco charity auction.
The Altiplano Automatic you voted for is 'especially' special because it has no seconds hand and is a limited edition for the 50th anniversary of the first world-record ultra thin automatic 12P movement in 1960.
The anniversary watches have the 1200P movement that has only been used in the two versions (metal colour) of Altiplano 50th anniversary watches.
The 'regular' production Altiplano Automatic watch uses the 1208P movement with seconds hand.
Regards,
MTF

Handicap 10
damjan, Are you a polo fan-boy? By that I mean a fan of the game with the ponies. The Piaget Polo FortyFive Chronograph Marcos Heguy Edition is marked Handicap 10 because of his 10-goal handicap. That means that any team that he plays for is immediately m...

Thank you MTF, this anniversary is extremely nice....
just don't really like the word "automatique" but it's just a detail. Cheers, Francois
Catch-22 about the Piaget "Automatic" wording
sandgroper, Some of us discussed the words "automatic" on the dial before. In general, most Swiss brands print "Automatic" on the dial for automatic movements; I'm not sure if its a "requirement". The main discussion point was the length of the phrase on ...
Here is my selection of blue Piaget
I would like to start with this Altiplano: Then this Emperador impressed me a lot: And I will not forget this stunning Emperador Moonphase with a dial by Anita Porchet: Thanks for the topic Melvyn! Fx ...
While there are blue dial that I like....
and would be happy to make my own (VC Overseas Chronograph/Omega Planet Ocean), these blue dial Piaget models do not excite me at all. Make mine a classic silver dial: Bill ...
The conflict in the Maison
Bill, The Gouverneur has sneaked onto my radar since I saw it at SIHH 2012 and actually tried one at a dinner party before Christmas. I agree with the classical choice and, in fact, I prefer black dials for white and rose gold cases. Somehow, white / silv...
I like # 6, 13; but not on me...
Blue is highly prevalent because it's a universal color to match with. More subtle than red and equally appreciated.
But I saw this video on HOME
I saw this video on HOME and I really appreciated how the bracelet was made... That's why I chose that non-blue one... I'm partial to things I understand.
Ahh.....but we know your bias already
From your collection, we already know your preference for the hard stone dials on vintage Piaget. I agree they are prettier but also some are impossible to make today because the stone has been "all mined out". Tiger Eye or pietersite is now 'extinct'. Th...
Meet the last but not least
You won`t imagine my passion for precious stone dials particularly tiger`s eye. I traded my white gold , onyx dial Audemars Piguet and added 2000$ for a yellow gold , tiger`s eye dial Piaget.. Feel sorry for loosing my AP,but my heart always beats for Pia...
As Tiger's eye is extinct; your Piaget is better than the Audemars Piguet
shadowprince2000, Beautiful....... I like Audemars Piguet too and have a few nice pieces but as that species of Tiger's Eye is 'all mined out' with no new supplies, you have an impossibly rare piece now. Those pieces will circulate forever or until each p...
Interesting trade...
Both are such wonderful watches, for me it would be a tough choice. I like both a lot, but a person has to follow his/her heart and choose the pieces that really make one smile. Congrats on your Tiger's Eye Piaget its a beauty! Best regards, Dino
Tough decision
I wish I could keep both. Love of Piaget was inhereted from my , I made my choice.
