Introducing The New Piaget Altiplano Skeleton High Jewellery Métiers d’Art

Piaget has long been a symbol of elegance, creating timepieces that don’t just tell time, they adorn the wrist with beauty and grace. Take, for example, the Polo Date High Jewelry or the Limelight Gala Limited Edition by Shamsa Alabbar, both of which effortlessly combine Piaget’s mastery in watchmaking with its expertise in jewelry design.

These pieces have shown us how Piaget seamlessly blends two worlds, making every timepiece not just a watch, but a work of art. Now, Piaget has taken things a step further with the Altiplano Skeleton High Jewellery Métiers d’Art, a limited edition of 8 pieces featuring the brand’s ultra-thin skeletonized movement, set with brilliant-cut diamonds and sapphires.

The watch is the result of a collaboration between Piaget and the renowned Swiss enamel artist Anita Porchet. The case is crafted from 18K white gold, with a diameter of 40mm and a thickness of just 7mm. The lugs are adorned with baguette-cut diamonds, while the bezel is beautifully split, with one half set with baguette-cut gradient blue sapphires and diamonds, and the other half decorated with cloisonné enamel. To complete the design, the crown is set with a sapphire cabochon, adding a final touch of elegance to this timepiece.

The upper half of the dial reveals diamond and sapphire-set bridges of the movement, while the other half is beautifully decorated with Grand Feu cloisonné enamel. The dial has dark blue hour and minute hands that perfectly complement the dial's design. 

Powered by the ultra-thin Calibre 1201D1, an automatic movement that is 3mm thick, it operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz) and offers a 44-hour power reserve. The timepiece is paired with a blue leather strap, and the price is available upon request.
