As Piaget states, "In the ultimate expression of luxury watches by Piaget, the Altiplano ultra-thin watch was conceived to offer a backdrop of purity... These designer watches feature elegant lines, elevated by emblematic finishes... alternating double and simple indexes (displays). Born in 1957, these bold yet timeless signatures for Swiss luxury watches discretely attract every gaze. The Altiplano ultra-thin watch takes its name from the eponymous plateau nestled in the heart of the Cordillera Andes, whose purity of open, untouched land is directly echoed in the collection’s elegant watches. The ultra-thin movements that dance on its lines are the most slender..."
Originally designed for men, as a mid-sized watch it is well-suited for a man who wants a smaller dress size watch or a woman looking for a more modern size luxury watch.
Built with a classic look, it is both luxurious and very fine. It has a high fashion design and top-tier 18K white gold construction with screwed-in back which serves as a fitting housing for one of the thinnest movements ever made, Piaget's award-winning 9P series high grade movement.
Its renowned movement, one of the world's first ultra-thin wristwatch movement, measures a mere 2.15mm thick - less than the thickness of a US half-dollar! Despite its small size, it sacrifices nothing in performance, having earned a reputation as one of the most refined and reliable mechanisms on the supreme level of fine watchmaking.
It has all of its original parts even down to is 18K white gold Piaget buckle ($500 value by itself), and it presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 or 9.8 out of 10. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice!
The case presents as mint. And the dial and crystal both present like new.
A Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled the award-winning movement. It is keeping very accurate time. For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap and meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One has done authorized work for Piaget and the Richemont Group which in addition to Piaget owns brands including Cartier, Vacheron & Constantin, IWC, JLC and others.
