The conceptual Piaget Altiplano Ultimate was unveiled by the brand back in 2018, but now the ultra-thin timepiece has been brought to fruition for style-conscious consumers to pick up. The mechanical timepiece measures in at just 2mm in thickness, which makes it the thinnest model on the market that was developed over the course of six years of research and development. The watch highlights a sapphire crystal lens that's a mere 0.2mm in thickness, while the gears within are just 0.12mm; the manual design of the mechanical movement features a power reserve of more than 40 hours.
The Piaget Altiplano Ultimate timepiece is available now for watch aficionados to pick up with pricing available upon request.
