Backes & Strauss unveils a brand new stunning Piccadilly in 18-carat white gold featuring a mechanical movement with a complex retrograde second mechanism and big date, lavished with diamonds, the finest diamonds. The retrograde second segment above the 6 position traces an arc from 0 to 30, then instantly jumps back to its starting point over a glorious fan of 6 rows of diamonds.
The big date, below position 12 is framed with diamonds, and this frame sits within a semi circle of a further 3 rows of diamonds. These rows of hand set diamonds on the dial total 135, weighing 0.48 carat.
