"You don't read the time from a Piaget -- You admire it..." Yves
Piaget
Today's
auction showcases this beautiful Certified Pre-Owned Piaget Altiplano
midsize watch, an ultra-thin watch that emanates elegance.
As Piaget
states, "In the ultimate expression of luxury watches by
Piaget, the Altiplano ultra-thin watch was conceived to offer
a backdrop of purity... These designer watches feature elegant
lines, elevated by emblematic finishes... alternating double and
simple indexes (displays). Born in 1957, these bold yet timeless
signatures for Swiss luxury watches discretely attract every gaze.
The Altiplano ultra-thin watch takes its name from the eponymous
plateau nestled in the heart of the Cordillera Andes, whose purity
of open, untouched land is directly echoed in the collection’s
elegant watches. The ultra-thin movements that dance on its lines
are the most slender..."
Originally
designed for men, as a mid-sized watch it is well-suited for a
man who wants a smaller dress size watch or a woman looking for
a more modern size luxury watch.
Built
with a classic look, it is both luxurious and very fine. It
has a high fashion design and top-tier 18K white gold construction
with screwed-in back which serves as a fitting housing for one
of the thinnest movements ever made, Piaget's award-winning 9P
series high grade movement.
Its
renowned movement, one of the world's first ultra-thin wristwatch
movement, measures a mere 2.15mm thick - less than the thickness
of a US half-dollar! Despite its small size, it sacrifices nothing
in performance, having earned a reputation as one of the most
refined and reliable mechanisms on the supreme level of fine watchmaking.
It
has all of its original parts even down to is 18K white gold Piaget
buckle ($500 value by itself), and it presents in gorgeous condition
- a 9.7 or 9.8 out of 10. Our photos couldn't begin to
do it justice!
The
case presents as mint. And the dial and crystal both present like
new.
A
Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled the award-winning movement.
It is keeping very accurate time. For the finishing touch we have
equipped it with a brand new leather strap and meticulously detailed
it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Your
watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its
lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business
with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers
all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and
a large number of parts. One has done authorized work for Piaget
and the Richemont Group which in addition to Piaget owns brands
including Cartier, Vacheron & Constantin, IWC, JLC and others.
Included with
the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the
movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur
of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Current
price for the newest version: $18,600.00 plus tax.
Don't
miss the chance to own this like new looking Piaget watch selling
for a fraction of the price of a new Altiplano.

Our
Selling & Shipping Information:
- 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If
you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome
to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within
30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal
is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience.
We hope you love it!
- The water
resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed
and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't
recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't
recommend showering or diving with it - even one that
was originally designed to be waterproof.
- We have
extensive international shipping experience. In the last
12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value
watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).
- All items are packaged very carefully and mailed in large
reinforced shipping boxes appropriate for high value items
so you don't need to worry about your watch arriving safely.
Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch
is coming in!
(Please do remember though that while we do our very best
and have careful procedures and quality control inspections
- we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of
your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you
- from time to time
some courier workers don't handle packages the way we
think that they would want their own packages to be handled.
Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping
of most is governed by a small spring that is only about
1/8 the thickness of a human hair.
The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem
free. However at times vintage watches
and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier
handling or just having a difficult trip to you.
But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer
a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell
(unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so
if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime
in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at
no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit
back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're
going to wear your new watch!
- Our official
warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the
watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping
of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse,
being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts
etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants
of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have
a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage,
tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just
might be able to help you.
- Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end
of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.
- To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not
to end an auction early.
- Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent
payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.
_______________________________________________________
