Piaget has always made sure to work with artists and maîtres d’art for decades now, so they can add their vision and unique skills to its distinguished pieces that reflect a technicality put at the service of beauty. With this new chapter, the House introduced the exclusive Métiers d’art Altiplano Moonphase collection consisting of 4 exceptional pieces.

The timepieces are a work of pure beauty and precision on their own, and they embody the luxury of intricate details and technicality made to fit on a 36mm-wide watch, the Piaget way. With each representing a cardinal point, they are also associated respectively with one of the four seasons and elements with an extra surprise at nightfall. We have the Azure Dragon that stands for the East and is associated with Spring and wood; the Red Bird, which represents the South and is close to Summer and fire; the White Tiger, looking West, which is naturally a friend of Autumn and metal, and the Black Turtle, for the North, which is at ease in Winter and water.

In order to respect Altiplano’s remarkable thinness aesthetics, the creative designs that adorn the watch’s dial had to be crafted on an infinitely small scale. However, the star-lit night sky with the moon rays of diamonds, sapphires, and garnets set on the lower half of the gold palace-decor dial with the multiple details sprinkled across the various pieces were more than enough for Piaget to show off the moon’s infinite radiance.
