Piaget Altiplano

Piaget pushes back the boundaries of refinement and the ultra-thin. Two years after the launch of the automatic 1200P caliber (2.35 mm), Piaget presents the thinnest automatic skeleton watch in the world (5.34 mm), housing the thinnest automatic skeleton movement in the world (2.40 mm). The result of unique expertise acquired by Piaget since 1874, this exceptional watch nonetheless belongs to its time, as evidenced by its resolutely modern lines. Its skeleton movement has been delicately engraved and hollowed by highly-skilled craftsmen. An especially complex operation accomplished with extreme attention to detail without sacrificing reliability or component rigidity. Paying homage to the watchmaker's traditional art, which they excel in perpetuating, the caliber has a balance bridge with harmonious symmetry and long curves which cross the mainplate and add overall rigidity. The search for style is two-fold with unusual decorative work containing alternating matte surfaces - sun-brushed and sand-brushed - contrasting with the shimmering brilliance of the edges. This work of art, only available in Piaget boutiques, has finishing touches such as the beveling and drawing done completely by hand bearing the hallmark of highly accomplished craftsmen. The attention to detail also applies to the screws (traditionally blued), the hands and the micro-rotor in black. A contemporary and harmonious work of art following traditional craftsmanship from the case to the bracelet.
