In 1957, Piaget cemented its reputation as the pioneer of ultra-thin watchmaking with the groundbreaking Altiplano collection. Taking inspiration from the high-altitude Bolivian plateau, the slim, elegant and reliable Altiplano revolutionized the industry upon its release.
The present white gold timepiece from the Altiplano collection from 1990s is distinguished by a mesmerizing blue marble dial that resemble an ariel view of the oceanic landscape. The marble itself was painstakingly sourced by Piaget's expert dial makers for its fine and captivating coloration. Thin slices were carefully cut and restored to create each unique dial that provides a texture and liveliness unattainable with more conventional materials. Preserved in excellent overall condition, the present example is sure to captivate the collector who seeks a unique dial of natural stone in an already elegant timepiece.
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.
