Piaget Altiplano 910P and Ultimate Concept Tourbillon in Khaki Green
Piaget unveils the ultimate expression of elegance and innovation with two new Altiplano models in gold and khaki green. 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 introduction 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 deeprooted 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 sevendecade 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.
