Piaget Altiplano

A celestial touch

Ultra-thin watchmaking, exceptional gem-setting and a focus on hard stones, illustrated with meteorite, invigorate Piaget’s new Altiplano timepieces. The distinctive lines on the surface of the meteorite are known as Widmanstätten patterns, typical of the crystallised nickel-iron structures found within iron meteorites. This type of meteorite is speculated to date from the very beginnings of the cataclysmic events that result in the creation of solar systems. Just as diamonds are crystallised records of conditions deep within the earth, meteorites are crystallised records of the birth of galaxies. The two 40mm watches are presented with either gold or grey meteorite.
