Catalogue Note

The Double jeu is a highly unconventional creation by Piaget. This large timepiece comprises two watches, each of them featuring its own independent movement and dial. The cases are hinged and so that the second watch with the black dial is protected by the front one fitted with the silvered dial.

The hinge is unlocked by pressing the button at 3 o’clock, revealing both the second timepiece while enabling the wearer to admire the movement of the first one through the sapphire crystal display back.
