From September 13 – 17, Watches & Wonders is hosting its Shanghai edition with 14 participating Maisons ready to showcase their newest time-telling novelties. On this occasion, Piaget just unveiled a brand-new and ultra-fine Altiplano Ultimate Concept timepiece in Midnight Blue.

Living up to its predecessors, the new ultra-fine timepiece measures only 2mm in thickness, while its case arrives in a 41mm case size. Synonymous with the former Altiplano Ultimate Concept releases, the Midnight Blue edition also features a cobalt alloy build with an equally mesmerizing dial design.

In essence, the new iteration is reminiscent of the dark blue variant from 2022, which features constellations like Super-LumiNova embellishments on the dial. Sporting an even more minimalistic dial, the new reference comprises only its namesake hue, silver, and a few speckles of pink gems. As the perfect tonal finishing touch, the timekeeper is accompanied by a matching-hued alligator strap.

More information regarding the Altiplano Ultimate Concept watch in Midnight Blue can be found on Piaget’s official website.
