Blending ultra-thin mechanical mastery with its jeweler's artistry,  Piaget introduces the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon and the Altiplano 910P.

In an audacious new expression of its dual mastery of watchmaking and jewellery,  Piaget proudly introduces two extraordinary timepieces that redefine the limits of elegance and innovation: the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon and the Altiplano 910P.

Since the in troduction of the legendary 9P movement in 1957, followed by the groundbreaking 12P in 1960, Piaget has set the standard for ultra-thin watchmaking. The Altiplano collection, born from this spirit of innovation, has become synonymous with mechanical elegance, technical audacity, and timeless purity.

With these latest creations, Piaget writes a new chapter in this storied tradition, merging Maison's horological expertise with its deep-rooted artistry in jewellery  and design. Today, the Altiplano continues to break records and push boundaries, most recently with the Altiplano Ultimate Concept winning the prestigious Aiguille d'Or at the 2020 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève

These new Altiplano creations mark the pinnacle of a nearly seven-decade journey—an audacious evolution of a modern watchmaking icon that continues to redefine the boundaries of elegance, innovation, and craftsmanship.

The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon
A Sophisticated Ultra-Thin Update

Following the 2024 debut of the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon 150th Limited Edition, Piaget introduces a new interpretation, distinguished by a sophisticated color palette of khaki green and yellow gold. The cobalt alloy case is still 2.0mm thin.

As has always been the case at Piaget, technical innovation is not an end in itself, but a means to achieve aesthetic purity. Here, ultra-thin watchmaking becomes a vehicle for expressing something greater, a vision of elegance where mechanics disappear into design.

In the AUC Tourbillon, there is no separation between case and movement - each element is engineered with the same uncompromising precision. The caseback itself serves as the movement's mainplate, a feat of integration where not a single millimeter is wasted in Piaget's relentless pursuit of ultra-thin perfection.

 Crafted from cobalt alloy, a material known for its resistance, the 41.5 mm case of the AUC Tourbillon also adds a sapphire caseback for the first time, giving full view of the caliber 970P-UC. The caliber now features a variety of satin-brushed and polished finishes, bringing a more sophisticated, contemporary character to the piece.

The caseback bears two engraved tributes: the brand's motto, “Always do better than necessary”, and “La Côte-aux-Fées,” the name of the historic village where Piaget was founded and continues to craft its most exceptional pieces.

In a nod to the Altiplano's design heritage, Piaget has subtly reinterpreted its signature cross-shaped motif, historically seen on the Altiplano, now replicated across the ratchet wheel, balance wheel, and screw arrangement.

This symbolic touch reinforces the connection between heritage and innovation. The AUC Tourbillon is paired on a matching khaki green calfskin strap featuring a newly developed pattern called “Polish Mesh” that evokes Piaget's goldsmithing savoir-faire.

The AUC Tourbillon will now join the AUC and the Andy Warhol collection as part of Piaget's Infinitely Personal program. Clients will be invited to co-create their own AUC Tourbillon through a dedicated online configurator, working alongside sales advisors to select custom finishes, materials, and engravings, transforming this groundbreaking timepiece into a unique expression of personal style, true to a long-held ideal that each Piaget piece should be as unique as the individual wearing it.

The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon stands as the ultimate expression of Piaget's identity - where the ingenuity of the watchmaker and the artistry of the jeweler converge in a singular, ultra-thin masterpiece designed for everyone.

The Altiplano 910P: An Icon for Every Day

Complementing the Tourbillon is the Altiplano 910P - a no less distinctive interpretation of Piaget's ultra-thin legacy. Measuring just 4.3 mm thick, the 41 mm case is made for the first time in yellow gold, creating a radiant contrast with the rich khaki green dial and matching alligator strap.

While Piaget's goldsmithing is celebrated in its bracelets and High Jewellery, here it seamlessly intertwines with the Maison's other great triumph—ultra-thin watchmaking—to create a timepiece where technical precision and precious metal artistry are one and the same.

The ultra-thin caliber 910P isn't just an engineering feat—it's a visual statement, with bridges finished in khaki green and a peripheral rotor rendered in slate grey and green tones, designed to complement the warmth of the yellow gold case and provide visual interest while preserving the watch's svelte proportions.

This new edition of the Ultimate Automatic draws direct inspiration from the AUC Tourbillon, with the same subtle cross-shaped pattern appearing on the dial screws—a bridge that ties both models together in form and philosophy.

High Watchmaking Meets High Jewellery

Together, the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon and Altiplano 910P embody the essence of Piaget's dual identity: a pioneer of fine watchmaking and a virtuoso of goldsmithing and jewellery design.

Conceived as expressions of elegance for both men and women , these timepieces transcend conventional boundaries through their balanced proportions, sophisticated palette, and uncompromising focus on form and function. With their ultra-thin profiles and artistic detailing, they appeal to a new generation of collectors who value both mechanical excellence and distinctive design as only Piaget can. It is style and substance–ultra-thin audacity wrapped in the ultimate aesthetics.

The Maison has long treated the watch not only as a precision instrument but as a canvas for artistic expression. These new Altiplano editions reaffirm that philosophy, combining technical ingenuity with precious materials and finishing techniques traditionally reserved for jewelry.

The khaki green and yellow gold colorway, specially developed for this collection, is at once refined and bold—evoking natural elegance and contemporary flair. From the meticulously brushed surfaces of the AUC Tourbillon's cobalt case to the golden glow of the Automatic's case and peripheral rotor, every detail speaks to Piaget's commitment to Extraleganza—a distinctive fusion of extravagance and elegance.

With these additions to the Altiplano Ultimate collection, Piaget manages to strike a delicate balance of daring innovation and enduring beauty, where every fraction of a millimeter reveals a universe of craftsmanship. The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon and Altiplano 910P are not merely worn; they are a tribute to past triumphs and an invitation to imagine the boundaries yet to be redefined.

======================
ABOUT PIAGET Piaget epitomizes daring creativity – a quality that has continued to permeate through the Maison since its beginnings in 1874. From his first workshop in La Côte-aux-Fées, Georges-Edouard Piaget devoted himself to crafting high-precision movements in a feat that formed the very foundations of our pioneering name. In the late 1950s, Piaget unveiled the ultra-thin movements that would later become the Maison’s trademark and the cornerstone of the Alti-plano collection. As a true innovator of the watch and jewellery world, Piaget strongly believed in creativity and artistic values. It is within the walls of our “Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire” where master artisans continue to harness rare skills that have been preserved and perfected from generation to generation, transforming gold, stones and precious gems into dazzling works of art. Through its pursuit of masterful craftsmanship, the Maison has created emblems of daring excellence channeled into its collections including Piaget Altiplano, Piaget Polo, Limelight Gala, Possession, Sunlight, Piaget Rose and Extremely Piaget.

PIAGET – POLO Flying Tourbillon Moonphase Titanium Edition

 

PIAGET POLO Flying Tourbillon Moonphase Titanium 44 mm Edition 2025

Appearing in titanium, in shades of blue and grey, the Piaget Polo watch continues to explore contemporary complications. Its language never deviates from the signature codes of Piaget’s style: the most graceful thinness, the most daring materials, the most innate elegance.

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

 A true icon of the watchmaking world since its launch in 1979, the Piaget Polo embraced the ‘sport chic’ trend in its own unique way by unveiling a bracelet watch carved from pure gold. Today, it is venturing even further. Having proudly displayed the colours of a masterful skeleton movement since 2021, elevated by an ultra-thin perpetual calendar in 2023, the Piaget Polo watch is yet again taking up position on the complications podium in 2025 by combining a flying tourbillon with an astronomical moonphase display. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

After its majestic reign on the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon watch, the flying tourbillon will now exhibit its beating heart on another of Maison Piaget’s star watch cases, following on from this exploit of ultra-thin elegance. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

To celebrate the debut of a complication as poetic as it is emblematic, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase is stepping into the spotlight wearing Piaget’s most iconic colour: blue, the Maison’s long-standing visual signature.

Refined

This Piaget style signature, which defines the piece’s aesthetics, is paired with another, deeply rooted in technique. Asserting the Maison’s inherent mastery in ultra-thin watchmaking, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase boasts an overall thickness of 9.8 mm. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

This stems from the calibre that drives it, the 642P, which itself is just 4 mm thick. Extravagantly defying expectations, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase displays a 44 mm-diameter titanium case alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Light, yet extremely strong, this material has earned its place among the noblest of alloys, not for its rarity but for its exceptional performance. This includes its ability to retain all its properties when it is coloured using the PVD technique. This latest creation presents blue case flanks and a blue crown insert, matching the dial with their shade and their gadroons, a visual signature that has set the tempo for the Piaget Polo collection since its inception in 1979.

Calibrated

Beneath the aesthetic qualities of the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase, the Maison fully expresses its mastery of horological savoir-faire. The creator of dozens of calibres, and master of all complications from the simplest to the rarest, the Piaget Manufacture in La Côte-aux-Fées is home to the highest standards of craftsmanship.

With its exceptional tools, it has poured its soul into the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Piaget has drawn on its history as a designer, developer and maker of mechanical movements with complications to deliver a new version of its calibre 600P, once hailed as the thinnest shaped tourbillon ever imagined. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The hand-wound Calibre 642P also possesses this attribute. With an overall thickness of 4 mm, it mirrors the 600P’s ultra-thin architecture, its flying tourbillon, and its finely worked tourbillon cage in the shape of a stylised P. It also encases the components required to display the moonphase, with an imperceptible increase in thickness of just 0.5 mm. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

With the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase standing for both discretion and performance, this celestial complication was duty-bound to harmonise with the piece as a whole. That is why the moonphase is shown with a precision described as ‘astronomical’. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The relative speeds of the Earth and its satellite means that their cycles are slightly out of sync. Moonphase mechanisms vary in their ability to reflect this mismatch. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Thanks to Piaget’s horological expertise and uncompromising technical precision, it would take 122 years to build up a single day’s difference between Calibre 642Ps display and the reality of the night sky.  This misalignment can be rectified by adjusting the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase’s moon display using the corrector at 9 o’clock.

Exuding allure

Watchmaking is a meritocracy, where titles are earned through a consistent approach. Piaget never deviates from this guiding principle. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

By creating model after model, spanning collections and decades, the Maison strives to offer a vision of the watch centred on discreet pleasure, unconventional elegance, and a vision of quality rooted in the wearing experience. Here, a cushion-shaped dial is paired with a circular case, creating contrast in the piece’s form and highlighting the dial.

On one side, the wearer can admire the motion work and the moonphase display at 6 o’clock, while on the other, a clear sapphire crystal shows off the movement...

Only when the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase is slipped onto the wrist does it fully reveal its true nature: fine, streamlined, light and comfortable, with unfailing sophistication.

PIAGET – POLO Chronograph Talisman Green Panda Dial

PIAGET POLO Chronograph Talisman Green Panda Dial 42 mm Automatic 2024

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Following on from the success of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, the Maison’s iconic Piaget Polo watch is striking a chord with another complication – the chronograph – in a vibrant shade of emerald green.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

With the simple but effective statement “Jewellers and Watchmakers since 1874”, stamped on watch certificates of years gone by, Maison Piaget summed up everything that makes it unique. The Maison was founded 150 years ago in La Côte-aux-Fées, in the heart of the Swiss watchmaking valley, by a family whose daring became both an aesthetic signature and the cornerstone of their reputation.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Driven by its talent for the ultra-thin, with watches first crafted from sleek components before incorporating legendary movements, the Maison is also fascinated by the bright colours of ornamental stones and the gold work that they have elevated to an art form.

Lee Jun-ho is a well-known South Korean entertainer, actor, and singer. 
 
Maison Piaget has always refused to compromise on either technique or aesthetics, elegance or extravagance, firmly establishing itself as the Maison of Extraleganza. This subtle twist is at play in its High Watchmaking and Jewellery creations, as well as its everyday jewellery and watches.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Redesigned in 2016 to take on a more contemporary edge, the Piaget Polo Chronograph still encapsulates the essence of stylish sport-chic first embodied by the 1979 Piaget Polo. It also bears witness to the Maison’s long-standing love of complications, harking back to the chronograph movements used in the Gouverneur watches of the 1980s and in the Protocole XL and Upstream in the 2000s.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Presented here in a 42 mm case size, layering different shapes within the rounded curves of a cushion-shaped case, the complication, driven by a 1160P movement, creates a playful contrast that echoes the two-toned dials of so-called Panda chronographs. 
 
 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Most often combining stark white and matte black, or vice versa, the distinctive Panda look takes on the warm colours and the hint of daring that have always defined the Maison’s creations. This unexpected blend of styles creates a new visual effect.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Vibrant and surprising, this dial echoes the horizontal lines of the 1979 Piaget Polo’s legendary gadroons. These are highlighted by a dense and luminous emerald-green hue that draws the eye, stands out and sets the tone.
