Unknown
Pictet (62 km) crater is in line with Tycho (85 km) and Saussure (54 km), located between the two. This, compared to the others, is more affected, with a blunt edge, and a bombed floor showing many small craters all over it.
Pictet name is given from Marc-Auguste Pictet (23 July 1752 - 19 April 1825), who was a physicist, chemist, meteorologist and astronomer in Geneva, Switzerland.
