The very nice Platinum Altiplano
The Platinum Altiplano is a LE of 50 watches. You can easily recognize it thanks to its blued hands. Of course, the caliber is the 838P.
I really like this version, the contrast between the dial and the blued hands is gorgeous. The diameter is 40mm.
Enjoy the pics !

Stunning!
Thanks for the photos, FX! Of the existing Piaget offerings I like this one second only to the Double-Jeu, which is my favorite Piaget. The Altiplano is so elegant, and yet the eccentric subseconds gives it some added personality. Cheers, Daos
What is this style of decoration called...er...in French, of course
Mon ami, How do you find these rarities? I noticed the circular concentric "waves" decoration instead of the more common Geneva Waves or Cotes de Geneve. What are these different waves called? Regards, MTF
I call them "Côtes circulaires".
And well... I have the chance to see these beauties at the Piaget shop in Paris. Fr.Xavier
Piaget Altiplano
Reminds me of the new platinum Ellipse by Patek. I have a special affinity for deployant buckles - perhaps Piaget can consider making this model with the DB buckle? This message has been edited by VPREGULATOR on 2009-06-13 21:25:56
