...is an amazing piece.  The diamonds are impeccably set and then there's the added fun of having a hidden dial underneath the top one.  I think it's one of Piaget's best designs.

PIAGET Altiplano Saga: Part 4 – From La Côte-aux-Fées, With Love – Diamonds Are Forever

Piaget's excellence in the disciplines of haute joaillerie and haute horlogerie, finds ultimate expression in their jeweled timepieces. Ref. GOA31105 and GOA31107. The fusion of Piaget's twin passions gives birth to watches that are horologically and aest...  

I like those Guilloche!

I really like G0A32082, perhaps the first time in a long time that a ladies watch has really jumped out at me. Sadly SFWIBW (She for whom I buy watches) prefers a smaller size. It's a pitty there isn't a 34mm model like that w/o diamonds. In any case, goo... 

The flinqué dials are way cool!

I love their translucence and the depth of their dials. Maybe Piaget will read your note and consider a smaller non-jeweled version! I like the purple dial a lot too. Cheers, Daos

Gents watch but also Unisex

aaron, Ref. G0A32082 is classed as an 'exceptional' watch in Piaget-speak. The dial is not engraving but enamel-work. Officially, the watch is 'gents' size' (38 mm) but these days, ladies can wear 40+ mm diameter. It is....er.....unisex! MTF This message ... 

Dial

I believe the dial is both engraved and enameled. From the description it appears to be what enamelers refer to as "guilloche enamel" that is the plate is engine turned and then the translucent enamel is layered on over top, Faberge-like A

aaron, Thanks for the explanation.. The best of both techniques. The enamelling is amazing; so thin and still almost iridescent. Regards, MTF

Wow ...

Doesn't your wife deserve a little something special though? A new Piaget might be just the ticket! LOL! Cheers, Daos

The piece is not intended to be a ladies' watch. I think it is very appropriate for a man...or for today's modern woman. Goodness knows there are plenty of ladies wearing 44mm Panerais nowadays. Cheers, Daos

That last watch...
