Piaget unveiled a series of stunning novelties at this year’s Watches and Wonders Geneva that perfectly epitomize the maison’s renowned craftsmanship and innovative spirit. Celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, Piaget achieved a historic milestone in watchmaking, showcasing its creativity and excellence through the new Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon—a true mechanical marvel, along with the Piaget Polo Date. These latest offerings from the brand exemplify its enduring legacy and relentless pursuit of perfection. They also push the boundaries of horology, embodying Piaget’s guiding commitment and principle: “Always do better than necessary.”
Essentially, Piaget has managed to once again highlight its pioneering role in haute horlogerie and demonstrate its ability to achieve what many deem impossible. As these exquisite timepieces take center stage, it is clear that Piaget continues to elevate the art of watchmaking, creating both functional and timeless pieces.
<h2>Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon</h2>
A prime example of what happens when Piaget does better than what is necessary is the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon, a masterstroke in design and engineering that marries elegance with technical prowess. Six years after revealing what was—at the time—the world’s thinnest, namely the Altiplano Ultimate Concept, the maison smashes the record for the thinnest tourbillon watch to date.
<figure id="attachment_103529" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-103529" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-103529" src="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/G0A49510_PR_MULTIANGLE_4_5.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="822" srcset="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/G0A49510_PR_MULTIANGLE_4_5.jpg 640w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/G0A49510_PR_MULTIANGLE_4_5-234x300.jpg 234w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-103529" class="wp-caption-text">Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon</figcaption></figure>
Housed in a blue PVD-treated cobalt alloy case 41.5mm in diameter, the watch showcases refined details that celebrate Piaget’s heritage of ultra-thin watchmaking. At just 2mm thick, the watch also features a flying tourbillon located at 10 o’clock with a seconds indicator engraved on the tourbillon ring. Furthermore, the crown is integrated into the case band. It is pulled out and operated using a dedicated tool: a stylus that contains a gear reduction and torque control system which then breathes new life into the barrel.
<figure id="attachment_103527" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-103527" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-103527" src="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AUC-TRB-close-up-5.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AUC-TRB-close-up-5.jpg 640w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AUC-TRB-close-up-5-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-103527" class="wp-caption-text">Winding the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon</figcaption></figure>
As for the architecture of the watch, the dial showcases remarkable depth with a play of contrasts, pairing gold and blue. The hours and minutes are still slightly off-center, as they were on its predecessor. Driving the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon is the Piaget caliber 970P-UC, a manual caliber with a one-minute peripheral tourbillon and 40-hour power reserve. All of these elements sum up Piaget’s capability while simultaneously marking a fitting celebration of its 150th anniversary.
<h2>Piaget Polo Date</h2>
Another highlight from this year’s new novelties is none other than the duo of Piaget Polo Date watches, limited to 300 pieces each. One is a 42mm model with a brown strap, while the other is a 36mm version with a beige strap, set with 91 brilliant-cut diamonds. These two watches serve to bridge the gap between the very first model in the Piaget Polo collection and the recent success of the Piaget Polo Date with a rubber strap. In fact, this is the first time the 36mm version appears with a rubber strap, having previously only been available with a metal bracelet or a leather strap.

Beneath its new composition, the 42mm model is driven by the manufacture self-winding mechanical movement 1110P while the 36mm model is powered by the 500P1 movement. Another notable point is that these timepieces both have dials that pay homage to the iconic gadroons on the original Piaget Polo; and both dials exhibit an exquisite interplay of materials, just like their ancestors. Moreover, on both models, rose gold-colored hands brighten the steel case, with the seconds hand bearing the inscription “150” to mark this year’s milestone anniversary.
