The Black Tie collection, distinguished by particularly refined shaped watches, welcomes the Gouverneur model stemming from cooperation between two Piaget designers. Father and son exchanged their views in giving rise to a subtle blend of oval and round shapes : the 43 mm-diameter round case features an oval dial opening on which the displays are structured by circles. The new line is interpreted through three models respectively equipped with the 800P automatic date Calibre 800P, the new 882P ultra-thin automatic chronograph with flyback function and, for the most prestigious version, with the new hand-wound Calibre 642P. This exceptionally slender tourbillon movement incorporates an astronomical moon phase with an original pointer-type display. Each model is issued in rose gold and white gold editions, with a bezel discreetly set with two rows of diamonds.
