Piaget Altiplano Skeleton 1200S

Pursuing its quest for essentials, the Altiplano collection developed by the Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie Piaget is the ultimate expression of formal purity. This reality is now taking on a new dimension with the Piaget Altiplano Skeleton Ultra-Thin model boasting a double world record: the world’s thinnest self-winding skeleton model houses the world’s thinnest self-winding skeleton movement. It has taken no less than half a century of expertise in ultra-thin mechanical movements to reach these new peaks of achievement.

The new Piaget Calibre 1200S is housed within a 38 mm-diameter white gold case specifically designed and developed to accommodate it — exactly the kind of ideal interaction between the movement and the exterior that the Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie Piaget masters to perfection. Only this two-fold in-house competencies could have enabled the firm to work simultaneously on the design of both the movement and the case in order to create the world’s thinnest self-winding skeleton watch. This world-first would have been simply inconceivable without such comprehensive internal mastery of the entire range of skills required.
