Description
Pivotal innovations, such as the ultra-thin 9P and 12P movements launched in 1957 and 1960, were instrumental. These technical breakthroughs enabled Piaget’s artisans to expand design possibilities, particularly by incorporating beautiful ornamental stones into watch dials. As the mastery of ultra-thin movements allowed larger dials and more surface area for creative exploration, the Maison has worked with artists and maîtres d’art, allowing them to bring their vision and unique skills to one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery and watchmaking.
Respecting Altiplano's remarkable thinness aesthetics, the creative designs had to be crafted on an infinitely small scale with the most sophisticated expert execution. Complemented by precious stones or gold engraving, the watches are rendered in exquisite and powerful details.
The Altiplano Twirling Colours Watch is an ode to sculptural form in motion, a precious architecture where fluidity meets structure. It showcases a unique marquetry of carnelian – an ornamental stone with ardent hues and mesmerizing patterns. Requiring hundreds of hours of work, this exceptional dial reflects Piaget's love for color – always vivid and flamboyant.
