Piaget’s most interesting collaborations tend to work best when they don’t soften the brand’s technical edge.
The new Altiplano Ultimate Automatic x Wristcheck does exactly that, taking the ultra-thin calibre 910P platform and giving it a sharper blue-accented identity for a limited run of 30 pieces.
It’s a fitting choice from Wristcheck, the Hong Kong watch platform founded by Austen Chu in 2020, because this is not the easy, conventional Altiplano route.
At a glance
- Piaget and Wristcheck have created a 30-piece limited edition of the Altiplano Ultimate Automatic.
- The 41mm white gold watch measures just 4.3mm thick and uses Piaget’s integrated calibre 910P construction.
- Blue accents appear across the chapter ring, screws, peripheral rotor and calfskin strap, with pricing listed upon request.
A blue take on Piaget’s ultra-thin architecture
The Altiplano Ultimate Automatic 910P was introduced in 2018 as one of Piaget’s boldest modern expressions of ultra-thin watchmaking.
Rather than placing a traditional movement inside a separate case, Piaget treats the case and movement as a single structure.
The caseback serves as the mainplate, removing a layer of conventional construction and helping the watch reach its 4.3mm overall thickness.
That architecture also turns the dial side into the main stage, exposing much of the 238-component automatic movement beneath the time display.
For this edition, Wristcheck’s signature blue is used with restraint rather than as a full redesign.
The off-centred hour and minute display has a deep blue chapter ring, while the screws and peripheral rotor pick up the same colour language.
The result keeps the technical character of the Altiplano Ultimate Automatic intact, but gives the watch a cooler, more contemporary personality.
The calibre 910P remains the main event
The calibre 910P is still the reason this watch matters.
Its peripheral rotor is made in 22k gold to provide the mass needed for winding while preserving the ultra-thin profile.
The bridges sit on the dial side, where they play both an aesthetic and functional role.
They help protect the hands from pressure against the sapphire crystal, an important detail in a watch this thin.
Finishing includes satin-brushed and sandblasted surfaces, chamfered bridges and circular satin-finished wheels.
The movement runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers approximately 50 hours of power reserve.

A limited edition for the ultra-thin collector
Piaget collaborations remain uncommon, especially when tied to limited-edition watchmaking rather than broader lifestyle projects.
That makes this Wristcheck edition notable, but the stronger point is the model choice.
Instead of applying a colour treatment to a more conventional Altiplano, the collaboration focuses on a genuinely experimental piece of Piaget engineering.
The watch is completed with a deep blue calfskin strap and light blue stitching, while the caseback carries engraved Piaget and Wristcheck logos.
For collectors who follow ultra-thin watchmaking, the appeal is less about branding and more about seeing the 910P architecture in a tighter, more graphic configuration.
With only 30 pieces being made, the Altiplano Ultimate Automatic x Wristcheck is positioned as a niche release for buyers who already understand why Piaget’s thinnest ideas continue to matter.
