The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon
The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon is a technical feat, holding the record in 2024 as one of the thinnest tourbillon watches ever created at only 2.0mm thick. Its cobalt alloy case now features a sapphire caseback for the first time, revealing the Caliber 970P-UC. Piaget’s signature cross-shaped motif is engraved on the balance wheel and screws, adding a layer of aesthetic refinement. A khaki green calfskin strap with a Polish Mesh finish completes the look, giving the watch a balance of sporty and luxurious. This model is also included in Piaget’s Infinitely Personal program, allowing collectors to customize their own timepiece with bespoke materials and engravings.

Reinventing the Altiplano 910P
Launched originally in 2018 as the world’s thinnest automatic watch, the Altiplano 910P now returns in a new khaki green and yellow gold configuration. Measuring just 4.3mm in thickness, it showcases Piaget’s ingenious construction, where the caseback itself doubles as the main plate of the movement. The yellow gold case is paired with a green alligator strap and a dial accented with the maison’s signature cross motifs. The watch’s peripheral rotor allows automatic winding without increasing thickness, ensuring its place as a milestone in horological design.

Design and Technical Brilliance in Harmony
Piaget’s dual expertise as both a jeweler and watchmaker is fully on display in these models. The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon incorporates ball bearing mechanisms to support its tourbillon cage, while the 910P refines the use of peripheral winding technology. Each detail, from the gold accents to the cross-shaped engravings, represents a harmony of art and engineering. With Bulgari and other brands vying for ultra-thin records, Piaget continues to remind collectors why the Altiplano remains a benchmark in the field.
A Bold Step Forward for Piaget
The khaki green and yellow gold theme marks a refreshing new chapter for the Altiplano collection, injecting vibrancy while preserving the timeless codes of elegance. Both the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon and the Altiplano 910P embody Piaget’s unwavering commitment to innovation while paying homage to its seven-decade heritage. For collectors and enthusiasts, these watches are more than timekeepers — they are wearable works of art that fuse precision mechanics with distinctive aesthetics.
With these latest releases, Piaget reaffirms its role as one of the most daring and imaginative voices in watchmaking. The combination of record-setting thinness, customizable features, and striking new design ensures that the Altiplano remains as relevant today as it was when it first revolutionized horology. These models prove that Piaget’s legacy is not only alive but thriving, offering collectors a chance to own history reimagined for the modern era.
