Piaget has enhanced its celebrated Altiplano Ultimate Concept collection with two new Khaki Editions, masterfully integrating the brand's historical dedication to mechanical sophistication with a bold, contemporary design. These new offerings showcase a distinctive yellow gold and khaki green palette, embodying a harmonious blend of tradition and avant-garde.
The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon stands as a testament to minimalist design, measuring an astonishingly slender 2mm. Its cobalt-alloy casing ingeniously doubles as the movement's mainplate, highlighting a seamless integration of components. A glimpse through the sapphire caseback reveals the meticulous finish of the new Caliber 970P-UC, featuring satin-brushed and polished surfaces. Engravings of Piaget's enduring motto, 'Always do better than necessary,' and 'La Côte-aux-Fées,' a nod to its birthplace, enrich its historical narrative. Subtle cross-shaped patterns on critical elements such as the ratchet wheel, balance wheel, and screws symbolize the convergence of heritage and future innovation. The watch is complemented by a sophisticated khaki-green calfskin strap, adorned with the Maison's newly developed 'Polish Mesh' pattern, exemplifying the artistry that defines Piaget.
Complementing the Tourbillon model, the Altiplano 910P Automatic, with a remarkable thickness of just 4.3mm, is now available in an exquisite yellow gold variant for the first time. Its khaki green dial, paired with a matching alligator strap, beautifully contrasts with the green-finished bridges and slate-grey peripheral rotor of the ultra-thin Caliber 910P. Mirroring the design philosophy of its Tourbillon counterpart, the 910P also features the distinctive cross-shaped motif on its dial screws, establishing a cohesive design language across both exceptional editions.
These distinguished timepieces, representing a significant investment in luxury horology, are available for discerning collectors. The Altiplano 910P Automatic is priced at $41,300 USD, while the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon commands a price of $705,000 USD. Interested clients can make inquiries directly through Piaget's official channels, including its website and exclusive boutiques, ensuring access to these limited and highly coveted creations.
