Piaget Altiplano Ultra Thin

For decades, Swiss watch- and jewelry-maker Piaget has been at the forefront of ultra-thin movement and watch design. From its storied, hand-wound Calibre 9P from 1957 to the micro-rotor-powered, automatic 12P from 1960, Piaget’s movements have consistently pushed the boundaries of what was possible in mechanical horology.

The modern Altiplano collection is a natural outgrowth of this ultra-thin philosophy. Housing some of the maison’s most compelling timepieces, this line is where Piaget exercises its creative muscles with unbridled restraint, combining ultra-thin watchmaking with avant-garde dial design that causes the entire watch industry to stop and stare.

This Reference G0A39110-P10920 is a case in point. Measuring 38mm in 18K rose gold with a smooth bezel, a signed crown, and a sapphire crystal, its remarkable dial reveals much of the ultra-thin, hand-wound Calibre 900P beating within. With an offset timing dial in anthracite grey and gold occupying the upper left dial quadrant, its remaining real estate is given over to showing off the skeletonized calibre’s balance, gears, jewels, and other componentry. 

At just 3.65mm tall, the dressy 900P is proof positive of Piaget’s command of this type of watchmaking — the type of horological pursuit that seamlessly blends micro-engineering and elegance, yielding a magnificent result. Paired to a brown leather strap, it’s ready to be worn to an elegant dinner party, a business engagement, or every day. 

Piaget is perhaps the foremost player in ultra-thin watches and watch movements in the world. Established in 1874 in Geneva and currently under the Richemont Group umbrella, the maison began producing wristwatch movements in 1911, manufacturing the Calibre 9P, its first ultra-thin, hand-wound mechanical movement, in 1957.

In 1960, Piaget released the Calibre 12P, the thinnest automatic movement in the world at the time, at just 2.3mm. It fitted many of its miniature movements into innovative timepieces hidden in coins, brooches, and cufflinks, becoming known equally for its jewelry.

The Piaget Altiplano Ultimate, released as a concept in 2018, became a full production model in 2020. At just 2mm thick, it took the record for thinnest watch on Earth. Today, Piaget continues to innovate in the realm of ultra-thin watchmaking, creating ultra-thin tourbillons, retrograde movements, and more.
