Piaget enhances ultra-thin The Altiplano Collection with a set of four handcrafted Métiers d’art Altiplano Moonphase watches, each displaying a translucent blue enamel sky created by master enameller Anita Porchet.
Four new Piaget Métiers d’art Altiplano Moonphase watches, each representing a different season.
Four Métiers d’art Altiplano Moonphase watches display the Chinese constellations, each represented by small white dots and precious stones. At night, the hidden SuperLuminova-coated artwork lights up to reveal the moon and constellation ‘Guardians’ of the season.
Each of the four models is associated with a different Guardian of the season: the Azure Dragon represents the East and is associated with Spring and wood; the red bird represents the south, close to summer and fire; The white tiger looking to the west is the friend of autumn and finally the black turtle (to the north) symbolizes winter.
On the lower half of each watch, Piaget displays moon rays made of graduated diamonds, sapphires and garnets. The large moon phase display features a moon window framed with a set of graduated gold and diamond rings. Each 36mm watch is encased in white or rose gold with a diamond baguette bezel.
After two years of research, the new models are among the first in the Altiplano collection to feature a moon phase display. Two Additional modeleach with a mother-of-pearl dial, which also debuts a moon phase display in the Altiplano.
Piaget powers the new line-up with the Manufacture 580P Altiplano automatic mechanical movement. On the back you will find a dark blue lacquered moon-shaped oscillating weight.
Every season of Piaget Métiers d’art Altiplano Moonphase is a limited edition of eight individually numbered timepieces.
Price: $147,000.
