Piaget, celebrating 140th anniversary next year decided to have a slimmed down celebration.
Only slim down we are talking about is Swiss watchmaker’s ability to make ultra-thin mechanical watches, in this case the new Altiplano 38 mm 900P. All of it is just 3.65mm thin – movement + case. As the world leader in making ultra-thin movements and watches, with 900P Piaget also introduces new technologies in ultra-thin watch making. Piaget’s history of ultra-thin movements and watches dates back to 1957 when it introduced the Piaget Caliber 9P which was just 2mm thin.
Housed in a 38mm white gold case, it features an offset hours and minutes sub dial with single and double stick hour markers at 10 o’clock. The dial side finishing includes satin-brushed and sandblasted surfaces, sunburst or circular satin-brushed wheels, beveled and brushed bridges, and black screws. It also delivers an impressive 48 hours of power reserve despite its thinness and a frequency of 3Hz.
The watch is expected to be priced between $20,000 and $30,000. It comes fitted with a black alligator strap with buckle and pin in matching white gold.
