As part of the yearlong celebrations of Altiplano’s 60th Anniversary, Piaget puts an unexpected twist on a timeless classic – the limited edition Altiplano 60th Anniversary Pocket Watch, which is set on a blue calfskin string to match its Piaget blue dial.
Attached to a blue calfskin string, the pocket watch balances classic sophistication with a touch of contemporary audacity. Delving back to the design codes that put the legendary watch on the map in 1957, the Altiplano 60th Anniversary Pocket Watch takes its inspiration from the very first ultra-thin watches of Piaget in the late 50’s. The captivating blue of the sunburst dial is somewhere between cobalt and midnight blue. The rich deep shade of blue is paired with white gold slim single hour-markers and the slim baton-type hands that are typical of the Altiplano collection. Reinforcing the perfect proportions of the watch, a fine blue cross once used in the earliest versions of Altiplano, gives the face its understated and balanced elegance.
