Bringing together the haute horlogerie and the haute joaillerie, Piaget created five stunning timepieces, equipped by ultra-thin mechanisms and adorned by the breathtaking sets of precious stones. Emperador Perpetual Calendar, Emperador Tourbillon watch, Altiplano Joaillerie watch, Dancer Sceleton and Haute Joaillerie Classique watch perfectly represent the brand’s extraordinary technological expertise and aesthetic creativity.
With the Emperador Perpetual Calendar, the prestigious Swiss watchmaker demonstrates its expertise in making highly complicated timepieces. This masterpiece is powered by a Piaget 856P self-winding perpetual calendar gem-set movement that provides high-end performances. Displayed on a stylish black mother-of-pearl dial, there are retrograde date and day displays at 3 and 9 o’clock positions.

The second time zone is displayed at the 8 o’clock position, along with a day/night indicator. Finally, the month and year display takes the 12 o’clock position. The 5.6mm thin mechanism incorporates a double barrel, providing 72 hours of power-reserve. Through the transparent sapphire crystal case-back, you can see its beautifully decorated parts, including a gem-set oscillating weight (25 brilliant-cut diamonds), circular Côtes de Genève finish, a circular-grained mainplate, beveled bridges, as well as a mainplate and oscillating weight engraved with the Piaget coat of arms.
Of course, technical excellence is not the only quality of this watch. Its robust, 18 karat white gold case with the diameter of 49mm is set with 120 baguette-cut diamonds (approx. 10.3 carats) and 380 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 2.2 carats). Hour markers, the rim of the sapphire crystal case-back and a crown are also adorned with sparkling stones. The glamorous design is complemented with a stylish black alligator strap.
Piaget Emperador Tourbillon Watch
A skeletonized version of this model is even more impressive. It is the breathtaking Emperador Tourbillon cushion-shaped watch that completely reveals the brand’s first ultra-thin automatic tourbillon movement through a sapphire crystal dial. It is a 5.55 mm thick Calibre 1270P with the flying tourbillon and the power-reserve indicator (44 hours) that is also visible through the exhibition case-back. Along with the remarkable gem-setting, you can also enjoy the mainplate with guilloché and satin-brushed sunburst motif, a circular Côtes de Genève starting at the centre of the tourbillon, a circular-grained mainplate, wheels and bridges and a gold oscillating weight engraved with the Piaget coat of arms.

An elegant black alligator strap with 24 baguette-cut diamonds on its buckle nicely matches the brilliance of this exquisite model.

Piaget extended its iconic Altiplano Collection with a beautiful diamond-set model, featuring the world’s thinnest self-winding movement, 2.35mm thick Calibre 1200P, housed inside its amazingly slim, 6.44mm case.
