Introduction

The Piaget Double Jeu Altiplano ref. 1043, is a horological masterpiece that seamlessly merges elegance with innovation. This exquisite timepiece showcases Piaget's expertise in ultra-thin watchmaking, exemplified by the ultra-slim Altiplano line. The 18kt white gold case, measuring with sophistication at 43mm, encases two mesmerizing dials that are packaged within a unique double-layered design. The silver outer dial, adorned with a delicate sunburst pattern, reveals the hours and minutes with minimalist baton hands and an offset running seconds subdial. The inner dark grey dial, revealed by pressing the button at 3 o’clock, features no such subdial and instead is distinctly elegant and refined with the same baton hands, Piaget logo at 3 o’clock and indices throughout. Powering this exceptional timepiece is two mechanical movements, the Piaget cal. 838P and the cal. 830P, with only the cal. 838P (which powers the silver upper display) visible behind a sapphire crystal caseback. The Double Jeu Altiplano not only captivates with its technical prowess but also enchants with its aesthetic finesse, making it a coveted choice for those who appreciate the union of artistry and watchmaking excellence.

THE CONSTRUCTION
THE CONSTRUCTION

Measuring 43mm in diameter and 12.5mm in height, the Double Jeu Altiplano would be a large time-only watch, but only for the fact it features two movements, a hinged case and two dials - making it an incredibly impressive piece of horology.
