High Jewelry Meets Haute Horlogerie in Piaget's Altiplano Skeleton Métiers d'Art Timepiece
A testament to the Maison’s extraordinary crafts in skeleton watchmaking, gem-setting and cloisonné enameling.
Piaget has unearthed the Altiplano Skeleton Métiers d’Art watch, a stunning new timepiece that showcases the Maison’s dedication to blending artistic craftsmanship, high jewelry and Haute Horlogerie.
Co-signed by Maison Piaget’s Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire and renowned enamel artist Anita Porchet, the reference is also paired with a new facet made of Grand Feu cloisonné enamel. The masterfully-applied Grand Feu cloisonné enamel arrives in a calming palette, where hues of blue, green and purple are put together in an abstract pattern.
The enamel hugs the dial on both the front and back, creating a seamless fusion of color that complements the subtle gradient of the bezel that’s partially set with baguette-cut diamonds.
The signature 1200D Manufacture movement has been optimized into 1201D1, integrated with gem-set details all over the skeleton movement’s architectural lines. Despite its intricate design and artistic embellishments, the timepiece retains Piaget’s signature ultra-thin profile, measuring only 7 mm in thickness.
As part of Piaget’s bold and inventive range, the Altiplano Skeleton Métiers d’Art continues to redefine the boundaries of luxury watchmaking, merging tradition with modern innovation. Limited to just eight pieces, more information regarding the timepiece’s availability can be inquired via Piaget’s website and boutiques.
