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...\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts case presents in excellent condition with a crisp hallmark on the back. A light polish could make it look mint. Please inquire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts untouched original dial and crystal both present like new. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of our Master Watchmakers has freshly disassembled it down to its last screwed and fully serviced its award-winning ultra-thin movement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist.
