It may soften the blow. Piaget used to state that their propositions will always be in precious metal.
This was after they stopped the stainless steel Upstream models.
Then, they launched the titanium Polo FortyFive range, that somehow we had to accept as 'precious metal',,,even though they were in Grade 5 titanium, it was a stretch.
Now that two-tone is back in fashion (see other haute horlogerie brands), the combination of grey and rose gold is actually quite pleasing.
I like the perpetual calendar Polo especialy the Year indicator being a reticule that slides into positon over the cycle year, in question. It also allows for the excellent ultra-thin perpetual calendar movement to be used by people that do not like cushion shaperd watches.
