Catalogue Essay
With an established heritage of being one of the world’s leading luxury watch and jewellery firms, Piaget has introduced some of the world’s thinnest timepieces. Inspired by a vintage 1957 model, the firm introduced the Altiplano line in 1998 with a focus on slim and thin timepieces. In 2015, the firm released the Altiplano Ultimate Concept being the world’s thinnest wristwatch ever produced with a mere thickness of just 2 millimetres.
The present Piaget Altiplano belongs to a limited edition of 88 pieces featuring a charismatic bezel set with baguette-cut diamonds on a 36mm diameter case. The lugs are further set with brilliant-cut diamonds that complement the baguette-cut diamond indexes against its mesmeric deep blue dial. Offered in excellent overall condition with extremely minimal signs of use and wear. The present example numbered 42 from circa 2021 is complete with its full set of accessories including its original warranty and presentation box.
Creativity, audacity and know-how are the values that gave Piaget its international reputation and allowed the brand to distinguish itself in the world of fine watchmaking and precision. Founder Georges Edouard Piaget established the company in 1874 and manufactured watch movements. While Piaget is famously recognized today for their elaborate wristwatch and bangle designs, they also mastered the marriage of their high-quality, in-house-produced wristwatches and stunning pieces of jewelry.
Collectors consider the 1970s as Piaget's era of superb creativity and unbounded designs. During this highly creative period, the brand designed an impressive range of cuff and bracelet watches carved in gold and adorned with exotic hard stones. Admired by most as not only jewelry but also true works of art, the firm's hard stone dial watches remain the most iconic, recognizable and desirable among collectors.
