Altiplano Ultimate Automatic

Description

Ultra-thin automatic watch in white gold set with diamonds (approx. 0.58 ct). Blue off-centred dial. Dark blue alligator-skin strap. A mere 4.30 mm in thickness, this automatic watch is one of the thinnest in the world.

Its secret lies in the design of the diamond-set white gold case, whose case-back serves as the main plate to which 219 components are affixed. This complex structure fuses movement to case. Depending on an inverted construction of the calibre, with its bridges mounted on the dial side, it gives a result that is both technically and aesthetically astonishing. The whole mechanism and hand system is contained within the height of the balance wheel, with an off-centred hours and minutes display. Within this extremely limited space, Piaget has designed a suspended barrel, held in place by a single bridge on the dial side, and a peripheral 22K-gold rotor.
