Piaget will launch a new ultra-thin limited edition collection later this month at the SIHH 2017 trade show in Geneva as an homage to the first Altiplano that debuted in 1957.

After introducing the controversial Polo S collection this past summer, Piaget – a leader in ultra-thin timepieces, with a rich history that started in the Swiss Jura mountains in the beautiful town of La Côte-aux-Fées, in 1874 – has gone back to their origins.

The new Piaget Altiplano 60th Anniversary Limited Edition collection will be available in two sizes: 38 mm x 6.0 mm and 43 mm x 7.65 mm. Crafted from 18K white gold, both versions feature a blue sunburst crosshair dial with white gold applied indexes and white gold baton-shaped hour and minute hands. No date or second hand, just the basics.
