One is the Altiplano Date, which, at 6.36 mm thick, is the world’s thinnest automatic watch with date display, according to Piaget. Its movement, Caliber 1205, 3 mm thick, is the world’s thinnest automatic movement with date, Piaget says.
It is the 12th movement that Piaget has developed specifically for the ultra-thin Altiplano collection. The watch comes in white gold ($26,000), rose gold ($25,000) and rose gold set with dia- monds ($33,000). It is 40 mm in diameter.
Another record breaker is the Altiplano Automatic Gem-Set Skeleton. It contains the world’s thinnest automatic gem-set skeleton movement, Caliber 1200D, just 3 mm thick, and is itself the world’s thinnest automatic gem-set skeleton watch, at 6.10 mm thick.
The movement is adorned with 259 diamonds, weighing about 0.8 ct., and 11 tiny black sapphire cabochons that conceal the screw heads on the face of the watch. The bezel has 40 additional diamonds (weighing a total of 3.2 ct.) and the rest of the case has 347 of them, weighing 1.4 cts. The price is available on request.
