Piaget Emperador Coussin...
A moonphase watch for a formal watch is very appropriate.
This Piaget Moonphase watch has precision gearing and thus only renders a single day's inaccuracy in 122 years. This is thanks to having a greater number of teeth on the gears so that the watch runs with greater precision.
A less precise watch will have a 59 teeth gear (a lunar month is 29.5 days, 29.5 * 2=59 teeth for the gear) and will thus make the moonphase off by one day in about 30 months.
Lastly, notice the detail on the moon. It kind of reminds you of the botched surface of the moon with craters.

"My favorite Piece in the collection is..."
Hello All, Post about your favorite PIAGET here to be entered in our "Scavenger Hunt" contest! I can't resist this one: So what is your favorite Piaget? Polo? Altiplano? Emperador? -MW This message has been edited by Dr No on 2009-09-17 09:20:15 This mess...
The Altiplano Squelette is my favorite as well
but I don;t own that or any Piaget...sob...
The squelette was....
At the "PuristS on Tour" event 2008 the Piaget Squelette was the hit for many of us. Have you seen one in person at a AD or Boutique? It's even more stunning than in the pictures! -MW
Yes sir I have.
But it was a tad outside the my comfort zone for price point. I have seen this where the squelette is rendered in black (not sure what metal) and the hands are in gold. Looks very very nice as well.
My favorite piece in the collection is

Nice pic Albin!
Hello Albin! Hope you're still enjoying your RG Altiplano! Looking forward to a long term update or a on-the-wrist review from you since you've had it for a few months now. -MW
Call me two-faced if you want, but my favorite is...
...the Altiplano Double Jeu -- the world's most elegant, and secretive, two timezone watch. There's so much to love about this watch, but the key element is that it has two beautifully finished, ultra-thin movements supporting two different dial displays,...
Still the Polo in all variations.
Well,I have the following one but am also completely taken by the new Polo 45 Chronograph with black dial. Best regards, Gerard...
