TOURBILLONS<br />

PIAGET<br />

PIAGET POLO TOURBILLON RELATIF IN PINK GOLD — REF. G0A35124<br />

Suspended <strong>from</strong> one end of <strong>the</strong> minute hand, <strong>the</strong> flying tourbillon carriage appears to be disconnected <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> base<br />

movement driving it. The hours are read off a central disc, while <strong>the</strong> tourbillon carriage is swept along in <strong>the</strong> rotation of <strong>the</strong> minute<br />

hand. Expressing <strong>the</strong> magic of perfect equilibrium, <strong>the</strong> Piaget Polo Tourbillon Relatif marks off time to <strong>the</strong> rhythm of <strong>the</strong> new<br />

proprietary Calibre 608P, a mechanical manual-winding flying tourbillon movement. Composed of 42 parts, <strong>the</strong> carriage—which<br />

spins on its axis once per minute, in addition to <strong>the</strong> hourly rotation around <strong>the</strong> dial—weighs a mere 0.2g! Within a 45mm black<br />

and 18K rose-gold case, <strong>the</strong> tourbillon movement, Piaget Calibre 608P, beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph and is endowed with a<br />

72-hour power reserve.<br />
