lien,
I understand your feelings about the words around the rim. Again, Piaget spent a long time discussing this. Obviously, the regular Altiplano 43 mm automatic does not have the words; they kept to the original words on the original watch. (see another thread below)
But the special anniversary Ltd Edn is a 'celebratory' piece and the indulgence is the commemorative line. It has no seconds sub-dial too.
At first, I also quibbled about the words to PIAGET people..... but then, as I thought about it; I would be proud to have the 1st batch of the 1200P movement in the world and make it a celebration with the words "Ultra-thin Automatic - 50th Anniversary Edition" Only 234 others would celebrate with me for that colour of dial.
If only they made 40 mm case.........always, if only this ....if only that.....
Regards,
MTF
