Piaget Marks First Heartbeat of Altiplano Ultimate Concept With Piece Unique
GPS co-ordinates and the position of the stars is engraved on the movement.
Piaget is celebrating the moment its one-time record-breaking Altiplano Ultimate Concept started ticking, with a unique piece that anchors the occasion in time and space.
The Altiplano Ultimate Concept (AUC) movement beat for the first time on February 7 2017 at 07:47 and, at 2mm from caseback to crystal, it was the thinnest watch ever made, going on to win the Aiguille d’Or prize from the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

The 41mm AUC 2022 features a 4Hz movement built into its slate blue PVD-treated cobalt alloy case. There’s just enough space on the mainplate for an engraved constellation of the sky – infilled with Super-LumiNova – at the time and date that the AUC was first set in motion, while the date and co-ordinates of Piaget’s La Côte-aux-Fées watchmaking manufacture is also engraved on the dial and ratchet wheel.
The watch is supplied with both a dark blue alligator strap and a blue baltimora fabric strap with cobalt alloy pin buckle. The one-off watch is listed by Piaget as Price On Request.
