- Case and Dial Design
- The watch features a three-body case measuring 45 mm in diameter, manufactured from a combination of titanium and stainless steel. It is characterized by a polished and brushed finish, a notched bezel, and hooded lugs. The case back is affixed using seven screws, and the winding crown is of the screw-down variety. A sapphire crystal covers the front, while a push-button located at 10 o'clock allows for the independent setting of the hour hand to track a second time zone. The dial is transparent, allowing a view of the underlying components. It features applied luminous steel indexes and an outer minute/seconds division. Timekeeping is managed by luminous steel dauphine hands. Specific complications are presented via subsidiary ring dials for seconds, 30-minute chronograph registers, and a 24-hour counter for the second time zone. A date aperture, outlined with a painted red rim, is positioned at 12 o'clock.
- Provenance and Condition
- This watch was produced in a limited series of 500 pieces circa 2008. The dial, case, and movement are signed by Piaget. Regarding the condition, the auction description reports the watch as very good, specifically noting grade AA for the overall condition, grade 3 for the case, and grade 2* for the movement.
- Movement and Functionality
- The watch is driven by the Piaget caliber 880 P, a self-winding movement featuring 35 jewels. The finish of the movement includes rhodium plating and fausses cotes decoration. The chronograph system is a flyback type, operated via square push-buttons. The movement serves both the standard timekeeping functions and the secondary time zone indicators, with the second time zone hour hand adjustment handled mechanically by the external 10 o'clock pusher.
