A demonstration of the Maison's exceptional expertise in skeleton watchmaking, gem-setting, and cloisonné enamelling.

Piaget has revealed the Altiplano Skeleton Métiers d’Art watch, an exquisite timepiece that exemplifies the Maison’s commitment to integrating artistic workmanship, fine jewellery, and Haute Horlogerie.
Co-signed by Maison Piaget’s Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire and esteemed enamel artist Anita Porchet, the reference is additionally complemented with a new element crafted from Grand Feu cloisonné enamel. The expertly executed Grand Feu cloisonné enamel features a serene palette, combining shades of blue, green, and purple in an abstract design.
The enamel encases the dial on both the front and back, resulting in a cohesive blend of colour that enhances the delicate gradient of the bezel, which is partially adorned with baguette-cut diamonds.

The distinctive 1200D Manufacture movement has been refined into the 1201D1, featuring gem-set embellishments across the architectural lines of the skeleton movement. Notwithstanding its complex design and creative adornments, the timepiece maintains Piaget’s hallmark ultra-thin profile, with a thickness of merely 7 mm.
The Altiplano Skeleton Métiers d’Art, a remarkable creation by Piaget, redefines luxury watchmaking by integrating history with contemporary innovation. Restricted to only eight units, further details concerning the timepiece's availability can be obtained through Piaget's website and boutiques.
