Service by experts will give your watch a new lease of life. During this complete service, our craftsmen carefully remove the movement from the watch. All the movement components (meaning over one hundred in a mechanical watch) are cleaned. Worn parts, seals and batteries in quartz watches are replaced. The movement is then adjusted and its functions rigorously tested. Each piece of the case must comply with Piaget's high aesthetic standards. Manual polishing or rhodium-plating for white gold are the final touch to this thorough overhaul. Your watch will regain its original brilliance. We recommend that you service your watch every two years, alternating between a maintenance and a complete service. A complete service generally takes around one day and up to 500 hours of testing, depending on the model.
