The year 2011 saw the most outstanding masterpieces of Piaget Swiss Watches, including the Piaget Altipano 34mm in Pink Gold and Piaget Limelight Garden Party Watch with diamonds and marquise-cut emeralds.

This year, the entire collection – including exquisite jewelry pieces and watches – is called the Limelight Garden Party. Among the highlights are a diamond-encrusted watch with delightfully rotating birds and leaves on the dial. Matching this are white gold and diamond earrings with white pearls and a white gold brooch, also with diamonds and pearls. Both items also feature a common bird motif.
Finally, another set worth taking note of here is a mystery watch, with diamonds and white chalcedony flowers, that will be perfectly at home with a ring and necklace – each featuring diamonds, sapphires, tourmalines, rubellites, pearls and chalcedony. If there is a message to take from the entire collection of both watches and jewelry from Piaget in 2011, it must be this: only one house can craft every single piece shown at the fair, be it timepiece or pure jewellery, and at the same time add the technical competence to build timekeeping movements, both mechanical and quartz (for the Limelight Garden Party pieces).

For 2011, the Altiplano comes in a wide variety of accents, all focused squarely on the high life and all resolutely ultra-thin. First of all, the 38mm and 34mm versions, which display the dual virtues of Piaget as a watch manufacture and as a jewelry house. Both watches feature full-set dials, with diamonds in a circular motif. The bezels and pin buckles are also fully set. In total, the watches boast 836 and 669 diamonds respectively, with cases in white gold.
In the same vein, three Altiplano models are introduced in 2011 with gem-set bezels. The 43mm white-gold model – still the thinnest automatic watch in the world, with a profile of 5.25mm – features 88 diamonds on the bezel. The 40mm watch, in rose gold, features 72 diamonds on the bezel, as does the 34mm version, although the latter also sports 28 diamonds set on the small seconds subdial. This 34mm Altiplano is meant for women, especially considering that it is offered in the very feminine combination of white alligator strap and rose-gold case.
