In the rarified world of haute horlogerie, where millimeters matter and every component tells a story, Piaget continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in ultra-thin watchmaking. The Swiss maison's newest offerings—the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon and Altiplano 910P, both rendered in luminous striking Khaki Green accents—represent more than mere timepieces. They are manifestos of mechanical poetry, where ultra-thin engineering meets the maison's legendary jewelry artistry.
The Altiplano collection has long stood as Piaget's testament to the philosophy that elegance lies in restraint. Born from an unwavering spirit of innovation, these watches have become synonymous with mechanical elegance, technical audacity, and timeless purity. The latest iterations don't merely continue this tradition—they revolutionize it, redefining the very limits of what we understand about sophistication in timekeeping.
Together, these new Altiplano models embody what might be called the Piaget paradox: the ability to achieve maximum impact through minimal thickness. They represent the essence of the maison's dual identity as both a pioneer of fine watchmaking and a virtuoso of goldsmithing and jewelry design.
In an era where boldness often translates to bulk, these timepieces remind us that true sophistication lies in balanced proportions, sophisticated color palettes, and an uncompromising focus on both form and function. They are created for discerning individuals who understand that mechanical excellence and distinctive design are not competing virtues, but complementary expressions of the same artistic vision.
Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon Khaki Green
What sets this piece apart is its architectural approach to dial design. The monobloc dial, adorned with polished round and baton indexes, creates a landscape of understated complexity. The innovative time display—featuring a baton-shaped minute hand and a separate monobloc disc for hours—transforms the fundamental act of reading time into an exercise in modern horological artistry.
The Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon Khaki Green stands as perhaps the most ambitious expression of Piaget's ultra-thin mastery.
Housed within a 41.5 mm case crafted from advanced cobalt alloy, this extraordinary timepiece showcases the manufacture's 970P-UC calibre—a manual wound flying tourbillon movement that exemplifies technical virtuosity.
The ultra-thin polish-mesh pattern calfskin strap, reinforced with Kevlar, speaks to Piaget's understanding that true luxury lies not just in precious materials, but in the marriage of beauty and performance.

Piaget Altiplano 910P Khaki Green
Complementing this technical tour de force is the Piaget Altiplano 910P Khaki Green ref. G0A50126, making its debut in 18K yellow gold—a first for this everyday icon. At 41 mm, this automatic movement masterpiece houses the manufacture's 910P movement, an ultra-thin automatic calibre that delivers a 48-hour power reserve and that exemplifies Piaget's dual mastery of both mechanical excellence and aesthetic refinement. One of the thinnest automatic watches in the world at 4.30 mm in thickness.
These new Altiplano models don't just tell time—they tell the story of what's possible when creativity meets craftsmanship, when tradition embraces innovation, and when the pursuit of the impossible becomes beautifully, tangibly real.
The choice of green alligator leather for the strap creates a sophisticated dialogue between the warmth of yellow gold and the earthiness of khaki green—a palette that speaks to contemporary tastes while honoring classical proportions. As we witness these latest additions to the Altiplano family, we're reminded that Piaget's greatest achievement lies not merely in creating thin watches, but in proving that thinness can coexist with complexity, that restraint can house innovation, and that true luxury emerges when technical mastery serves aesthetic vision.
