I lusted after the Altiplano Automatic ever since seeing pictures of it in print ads. Finally found one at local AD. Hei, hei, hei, guess I will be playing with this one for a while.

The 43mm case is quite large for the world's thinnest automatic and give it a more masculine look. Sapphire back shows the lovely movement.

Only short coming is the inconvenient old style buckle. I requested a folding deployment clasp, hopefully that will be available soon.

dannyt · 25 June 2011, 11:41 PM

Yes, they are hard to find aren't they. I looked all over the net but nobody had them. So I had to wait for my local Piaget Boutique in Hong Kong.

Luckily I know the customer manager there for many years so she gave me a call when they got the first few pieces in. I am a happy camper.

Nope not from their Elements store which didn't have it. From their main boutique in Central.

sea-dweller · 23 November 2011, 02:30 PM

Congrats!

cwwhk · 3 December 2011, 10:08 PM

Thanks to everyone for the kind compliments. Today I tried to take better pictures of the watch. Hope you like them.

cwwhk · 3 December 2011, 10:32 PM

I was motivated to take better pictures because today I picked up my second Piaget. The 50th Anniversary limited edition of the Altiplano Automatic. It has a cleaner dial without the second hand sub register. Beautiful! The self winding rotor is in platinum instead of the rose gold on the regular version.

Hope you like the pictures.

Andrés G · 4 December 2011, 01:08 AM

Enjoy those beauties.

cruvon · 21 January 2012, 02:02 PM

Congrats, they are beauties!

Fearsome Puppy · 21 January 2012, 06:04 PM
