Since the launch of the legendary 2mm-thin caliber "9P" in 1957, the Altiplano has been an iconic Piaget collection, with over 200 models released to date thanks to Piaget's relentless pursuit of thinness and innovative technology. Equipped with an astonishingly thin movement hidden beneath its simple round design, the Altiplano is the Maison's signature watch, boasting unparalleled technology.

Dial design with a figure eight formed by the tourbillon and time display

 Piaget, a pioneer of thin mechanical watches, has created the Altiplano Flying Tourbillon, equipped with a 4.6mm-thick Piaget-manufactured thin manual-winding movement and featuring a dial design that forms a figure eight with a tourbillon at 2 o'clock and time display at 8 o'clock. The movement incorporates an ultra-lightweight tourbillon cage measuring just 2.8mm thick and weighing less than 0.2g, as well as three titanium bridges and other ultra-thin components, all of which are as thin as a hair, making this watch a temple of craftsmanship that is a testament to the high level of Piaget's watchmaking technology.
