Today's offering showcases this luxurious Certified Pre-Owned Piaget 9025 Altiplano midsize watch, an ultra-thin watch that emanates elegance.

This Altiplano, sometimes referred to as a Dancer, is a watch that captures what Piaget did better than almost anyone during the great age of ultra-thin dress watches.

As Piaget states, "In the ultimate expression of luxury watches by Piaget, the Altiplano ultra-thin watch was conceived to offer a backdrop of purity... These designer watches feature elegant lines, elevated by emblematic finishes... alternating double and simple indexes (displays). Born in 1957, these bold yet timeless signatures for Swiss luxury watches discretely attract every gaze. The Altiplano ultra-thin watch takes its name from the eponymous plateau nestled in the heart of the Cordillera Andes, whose purity of open, untouched land is directly echoed in the collection’s elegant watches. The ultra-thin movements that dance on its lines are the most slender..."

At only 30mm across and about 4mm thick, it is remarkably slender without looking delicate, with long, finely drawn lugs, a restrained white dial, classic black Roman numerals, and the little flash of blue from its cabochon crown that unmistakably says Piaget.

This is one of those watches whose appeal grows the longer you look at it. The proportions are beautifully disciplined. The thin yellow gold bezel leaves almost the entire face to the dial, the Roman numerals give it real visual presence, and the narrow railroad-style minute track brings just enough structure to the otherwise spare design. On the wrist it has the quiet confidence of a truly fine dress watch: precious, unmistakably luxurious, but never showy.

What elevates it well beyond being simply a handsome and luxurious 18K gold watch from a premier house is what Piaget placed inside. To power the Ref. 9025, the manufacture used its celebrated caliber 9P2, the later evolution of the landmark 9P family that helped establish Piaget as one of the defining names in ultra-thin watchmaking.

Its renowned movement, one of the world's first ultra-thin wristwatch movement, measures a mere 2.15mm thick - less than the thickness of a US half-dollar! Despite its small size, it sacrifices nothing in performance, having earned a reputation as one of the most refined and reliable mechanisms on the supreme level of fine watchmaking.

Originally designed for men, as a mid-sized watch it is well-suited for a man who wants a smaller dress size watch or a woman looking for a more modern size luxury watch.

It has all of its original parts even down to is 18K white gold Piaget buckle ($500 value by itself), and it presents in beautiful original condition.

Its case presents in excellent condition with a crisp hallmark on the back. A light polish could make it look mint. Please inquire.

Its untouched original dial and crystal both present like new.

One of our Master Watchmakers has freshly disassembled it down to its last screwed and fully serviced its award-winning ultra-thin movement.

We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a French made long size lizard skin strap and the watch's original 18K gold buckle, and meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Current price for the current version: $27,200.00 plus tax.

A wonderful history of the Altiplano can be found on the company's website here: https://www.piaget.com/craftsmanship/altiplano-watches

For the collector who appreciates Piaget for more than its name on the dial, Ref. 9025 offers a great deal: an elegant 18K gold case, the manufacture's signature ultra-thin philosophy, a genuinely important family of in-house movements, beautiful original condition, and the completeness of its original 18K buckle.

It is a discreet watch, but there is a great deal of watchmaking packed into those four millimeters. Don't miss the chance to own this classic Piaget Altiplano selling for a fraction of the price of a new Altiplano.
