The Piccadilly case shape is based on John Nash’s great circular junction, which has served as the epicenter of London since its debut in 1819.<br />

Originally known as Regent Circus South, Piccadilly Circus was conceived as one of the two links joining the three parts of Nash’s sweeping Regent<br />

Street (Oxford Circus being the other). The concept of connecting new and old lies at the heart of the Piccadilly Collection.<br />

ColleCtion HigHligHt<br />

The 18K rose gold Piccadilly case in this edition seems to emanate light, thanks to the 144 ideal-cut diamonds (5.8 carats) that decorate it. Adding to<br />

the sheen are a silver dial with silver hand-polished Roman numerals and indexes, rose gold colored hands, and an ideal-cut diamond in the crown.<br />

The automatic timepiece, with a power reserve of 38 hours, has cotes de Geneve decoration on its movement. $52,400.<br />

The Piccadilly is also available in white gold.<br />
