The Altiplano Ultimate Automatic 910P is a limited-edition collaboration between Piaget and Wristcheck. The Altiplano Ultimate Automatic 910P uses a 41-millimeter white gold case and is limited to 30 examples worldwide. The watch is powered by Piaget’s 910P caliber, which integrates the movement directly into the case structure to achieve a total thickness of 4.3 millimeters. Wristcheck introduced its signature blue color across the hour counter, hands, screws, and peripheral rotor, adding contrast to the movement’s open-worked layout.
The watch contains 238 visible components and continues Piaget’s long-standing focus on ultra-thin watchmaking. A blue calfskin strap with matching stitching complements the blue accents found throughout the movement. Each example features a double-engraved caseback displaying both the Piaget crest and Wristcheck logo. The collaboration combines Piaget’s technical approach to movement design with Wristcheck’s contemporary visual identity.

Why This Trend Is Growing
- Ultra-thin Mechanical Movements
- Submillimeter integration of movement and case architecture is enabling watches to achieve unprecedented thinness while maintaining mechanical complexity, creating space for novel form factors and wearable profiles.
- Collaborative Co-branded Editions
- Limited-run partnerships between heritage maisons and contemporary retailers are blending technical prowess with modern visual identities, shifting value perceptions around exclusivity and storytelling.
- Openworked Aesthetic and Visible Components
- Exposing intricate componentry and decorative finishing through skeletonized designs is elevating the visual narrative of precision engineering, fostering demand for transparency in craft and provenance.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Luxury Watchmaking
- Manufacturers focusing on extreme thinness and integrated movements are redefining product differentiation in the high-end horology market through engineering-driven luxury propositions.
- Advanced Materials and Microfabrication
- Precision machining of white gold cases and micro-components signals opportunities for specialized suppliers to develop new alloys, surface treatments, and assembly techniques tailored to ultra-thin constructions.
- Curated Secondary Market Platforms
- Digital marketplaces and specialist retailers that authenticate and co-brand limited pieces are transforming resale dynamics by blending original craft credentials with contemporary cultural cachet.
