Full-Cataloguing
- Pavé diamond set dial with onyx bezel
- Integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet with uncommon design
- In-house ultra-thin movement
- The Piaget Altiplano, first released in 1957, is a collection of dresswatches housed with their in-house ultra-thin movements. The reference 9200 was produced from the 1970s until early 1980s, unlike other Altiplano models in a round watch case, the reference 9200 watches have a stepped square case. For most of the watches of the reference, they share features of jewellery watches of the era, which appear to be bold and sculptural, decorated with hardstone materials like the dial. The current watch is fitted with a pavé diamond-set dial, with a bezel decorated with onyx.
- As a renowned brand for making some of the most prized jewellery watches in the mid-century, the integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet is not the typical woven style bracelets often seen in other watches. It surely stands out amongst other watches of the same period, an uncommon yet elegant design that showcases the art of Piaget.
- The cal. 9P2 movement housed in the stepped case is an updated version of the cal. 9P movement. It improved further than the already ultra-thin predecessor, with an even slimmer body. Perhaps, it is to show that Piaget is a brand not only excels in design, but also takes refined craftmanship and watchmaking very seriously.
Piaget
Swiss | 1874Creativity, audacity and know-how are the values that gave Piaget its international reputation and allowed the brand to distinguish itself in the world of fine watchmaking and precision. Founder Georges Edouard Piaget established the company in 1874 and manufactured watch movements. While Piaget is famously recognized today for their elaborate wristwatch and bangle designs, they also mastered the marriage of their high-quality, in-house-produced wristwatches and stunning pieces of jewelry.
Collectors consider the 1970s as Piaget's era of superb creativity and unbounded designs. During this highly creative period, the brand designed an impressive range of cuff and bracelet watches carved in gold and adorned with exotic hard stones. Admired by most as not only jewelry but also true works of art, the firm's hard stone dial watches remain the most iconic, recognizable and desirable among collectors.
