A tribute to La Côte-aux-Fées
Now, Piaget is celebrating the Altiplano Ultimate Concept’s lineage with a special version dedicated to the Swiss Jura village of La Côte-aux-Fées. If you’re not a Piaget history buff, let me help you out here. La Côte-aux-Fées is where Georges Edouard Piaget founded the eponymous watch company in 1874. It was here that the design, development, and creation of every ultra-thin Piaget movement ever was carried out.
The Altiplano Ultimate Concept tribute to La Côte-aux-Fées has a bridge, screws, hands, and a dial in a deep, forest green and complemented by a matching strap made from alligator leather. The highly-polished cobalt alloy case contrasts nicely with the richness of the green detailing. As a reminder of the company’s heritage, the main plate is not-so-subtly engraved with the year of Piaget’s founding, 1874.
