A little over 15 years ago, in 1998 to be exact, the watch world was peopled with wide and thick men’s watches. A (future) classic was born: the Altiplano. The elegant and svelte ambassador with its slightly pearlescent white dial, single and double baton indices and slim slate grey hands seduced us with its understated sophistication. The Altiplano collection grew in 2015 with 6 dazzling new models. Why dazzling? The timepieces have a rose or white gold coat and some are adorned with diamonds (68 – 78 brilliant-cut diamonds). The delicate case is available in two sizes (34mm and 38mm) with a gold wide link strap. It has a self-winding 534P mechanical movement made by Piaget to provide the hour and minute functions (in the centre of the dial) and 42-hour power reserve. Price from 29,000 CHF (34mm white gold) to 41,100 CHF (38mm rose gold and diamonds)
