Piaget Altiplano Dual Time 18K WG (Ref. 612104) "Asprey" Guilloché dial, 1970s

Dealer description — Craft & Tailored

Piaget is widely celebrated as one of the most creative and esoteric watchmakers, with a deep foundation in Swiss watchmaking, as the brand was established in 1874. The avant-garde approach to design isn't without a rigorous dedication to quality, which is expressed through the brand's inherent comprehension of what high luxury and fine watchmaking truly are. Dating to the late 1970s and executed in 18k white gold, this exceptional Piaget is a compelling expression of the brand’s refined craftsmanship and design philosophy. Its defining feature is an elegant dual-time display, achieved through opposing Cal. 6P1 movements and presented via contrasting silver and black sub-dials, each adorned with classic Breguet numerals and set within a finely executed guilloché dial. A crisp hobnail-patterned bezel frames the composition, incorporating two slim crowns at 3 and 9 o’clock for intuitive operation. Completing the dial is the Asprey signature at 6 o’clock, an enduring symbol of London luxury since 1847 and a storied retailer to royalty, celebrated for commissioning exceptional pieces from the world’s most prestigious watchmakers. This combination of an Asprey-signed guilloché dial, dual-time display, and elegant detailing results in a harmonious and highly collectible timepiece that is rooted in functionality.
