First Step on the Moom

The case is made of 18kt rose gold and measures 46.5mm. Movement is the automatic Piaget in-house caliber 860P with 25 jewels, beating at 21,600 bph and with a power reserve of 72 hours.

“We wanted to make a unique piece, which had as its movement our new caliber 860P –so reinforcing the legitimacy of the brand,” says Mr Touzeau of Piaget Watches. “The result was a very nice complication with extra large moon phases positioned at 6 o’clock in a 12mm diameter aperture. The moon is made out of a gold plate. To give it this rough appearance it was heated until boiling stage and then cooled down. This enables it to have an irregular aspect that resembles the craters of the moon. Furthermore, on the moon phase disk we have engraved our interpretation of the tread left by Neil Armstrong after the first step on the moon.
