Description

The Manufacture Piaget 838P hand-wound movement is given a light, airy touch by the essentially manual openwork featuring a decidedly contemporary design. This movement, of which the master-engravers have managed to preserve the essential elements, reveals fascinating glimpses of its meticulous finishes and the magic of its intricate gear trains. Radiating from the centre of the small seconds at 10 o'clock, a hand-crafted guilloché sunburst motif lights up the entire dial with its 60 rays that extend over onto the inner bezel ring.

The exquisite finesse of the engraving, chasing and decorative work on this Calibre 838P skeleton movement makes a perfect match for the refined elegance of the ultra-thin 18-carat pink gold case. The latter's sapphire crystal caseback enables one to admire the painstaking decorative work on the movement, thereby lending even greater depth and intensity to this mechanical sculpture. "
