Altiplano アルティメート コンセプト トゥールビヨン

ALTIPLANO ULTIMATE CONCEPT TOURBILLON KAKI GREEN

in 2024, 150 years after the Maison was first founded, 67 years after it invented its first ultra-thin calibre - the 9P - and 6 years after it revealed the thinnest watch in the world at that time, the Altiplano Ultimate Concept, in 2018, Piaget has once again pushed the boundaries of horological ingenuity with the reveal of the thinnest Tourbillon watch in the world at that time.

The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon is a paradox in and of itself. And yet, its dimensions, which truly stretch the limits of watchmaking feasibility, are a visual statement that can only begin to outline 150 years of human and horological history. With a diameter of 41.5 mm, a guaranteed water resistance to a depth of 20 metres and an extremely resistant cobalt alloy case, the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon appears to possess all the features of an everyday watch. However, its 2 mm thickness and its flying tourbillon take it to a different plane: that of the extraordinary.
Set in circular motion by a bridge encircling it, the carriage of the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon completely subverts the current state-of-the-art technical principles. The signature engraved on its back, next to a sapphire crystal placed under the tourbillon, sums up the process that has driven Piaget since its beginnings: “Always do better than necessary”.

This is a Maison whose culture is based on people, invention and collaboration. This spirit has led it to take on the challenge of barely believable thinness.
