Catalogue Essay The Piaget Altiplano Skeleton made a significant impact in the field of mechanical watchmaking with its groundbreaking features. It was first introduced at SIHH 2012 and stood out for its fully skeletonized dial and the world's thinnest automatic movement at that time, measuring only 2.40 mm in thickness. The present timepiece is housed in a 38mm case, which is framed by highly polished lugs and flanks that create a striking contrast against the sunburst skeletonized dial. Differentiating from other variations, the bridges in this model are treated with a dark black hue, producing a vivid contrast with the white gold case. The sapphire crystal caseback allows the wearer to admire the beautifully executed ultra-thin 1200S movement. Creating an ultra-thin movement is a painstaking and challenging task that requires great expertise and precision. Each component is carefully hollowed and hand finished, demanding the skills of Piaget artisans. Numbered 12 out of 150 pieces, the number is engraved on the platinum micro rotor. It presents a unique opportunity to own a sleek and handsome ultra-thin watch that is truly impressive in its craftsmanship and design. Read More Artist Biography Piaget Swiss • 1874 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. View More Works Ref.
