Piaget has unveiled two new Altiplano timepieces featuring a sophisticated khaki green and yellow gold color scheme, expanding its ultra-thin collection with fresh aesthetic approaches to horological engineering.

The Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon maintains its record-setting 2mm case thickness in cobalt alloy while introducing the new khaki green dial treatment. Following the brand’s 2020 Aiguille d’Or victory, this iteration adds a sapphire caseback for the first time, revealing the caliber 970P-UC movement with brushed and polished finishes.

The integrated construction eliminates separation between case and movement, with the caseback serving as the movement’s mainplate. Engraved tributes include Piaget’s motto “Always do better than necessary” and “La Côte-aux-Fées,” referencing the brand’s founding village. Cross-shaped motifs appear throughout the ratchet wheel, balance wheel, and screw arrangements, connecting heritage with innovation. A matching khaki green calfskin strap features the new “Polish Mesh” pattern reflecting Piaget’s goldsmithing expertise.

The second model, the Altiplano 910P, debuts in yellow gold for the first time within a 4.3mm-thick, 41mm case. The khaki green dial pairs with a matching alligator strap, while the ultra-thin caliber 910P features bridges finished in khaki green and a peripheral rotor in slate grey and green tones that complement the gold case.

Both models incorporate cross-shaped patterns on dial screws, creating visual continuity between the offerings. The 910P’s peripheral rotor design maintains the watch’s svelte proportions while providing visual interest through coordinated coloring.

Piaget positions these timepieces as expressions for both men and women, transcending traditional gender boundaries through balanced proportions and sophisticated materials. The Ultimate Concept Tourbillon joins Piaget’s Infinitely Personal program, allowing clients to customize finishes, materials, and engravings through an online configurator.

The khaki green and yellow gold combination represents Piaget’s “Extraleganza” philosophy, fusing technical innovation with precious materials and jewelry-grade finishing techniques.
