Piaget Altiplano Ref. 900319, 18k, Circa 1975 Men's Vintage Watch

An attractive example of the elegant and wafer thin Piaget Altiplano reference 900319 from circa 1975. 

The story begins in 1957 when Valentin Piaget, grandson of the company’s founder launches the Piaget Altiplano at the Basel watch fair. It was powered by the now legendary ultra-flat 9P hand-wound movement which was not only incredibly thin at just 2mm but also offered high levels of reliability and performance.

The Piaget Altiplano went on to become one of the must have dress watches of the time and Piaget has continued to innovate the range, most recently with the Altiplano Ultimate Concept - the thinnest hand-wound watch in the world, at only 2mm thick overall!

This particular example, a reference 900319 is powered by the beautiful 9P1 18 jewel hand wound movement. The 32mm 18k gold case is in good condition, free from any major dints or deep scratches. The champagne coloured dial is in excellent condition for its age. There is a minor mark above 12 o'clock but this is barely noticeable when the watch is worn. 

The Piaget Altiplano is both beautiful and ingenious, and with this example you can experience everything that made the range so popular at a fraction of the price of its modern day equivalent (currently price at £13,500!).

The Watches

Are all watches authenticated?

All our watches pass through a double authentication process to insure their authenticity. We also provide detailed photos of the watch from all angles to allow you to undertake your own anlysis. Finally as with everything, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to our friendly team

What if something goes wrong with the watch

Whilst all our watches are fully serviced before sale, if something does go wrong, we'll repair it for free as part of our 1 year warranty

Do watches come with original box and papers?

It depends on the individual watch. You can see details under "The Basics" heading on this page. For the majority of vintage watches their original box and papers have been lost to time. Whilst they are nice to have, it’s important to note that “box and papers” DO NOT authenticate a watch despite what many in our trade say. It’s also important to realise alot of sellers (including some of the most well known in the UK) put together full sets of box, papers, hang tags etc by buying blank paperwork and boxes in the secondary market. This is a very regrettable, but unfortunately common occurrence in the trade but something we will never do!

How do I know it will fit?

For metal bracelets we provide the size it will currently fit in the description section of this page. If this measurement is too large or too small we are able to assist in either adding or removing links. We also offer this service, post service on a at-cost basis (i.e. we don't add a margin).

Can you change the strap?

Absolutely! If you don't like the current strap, let us know and we'll change it for free! We maintain a broad selection of styles and can also source straps to your specification free of charge.

Can you source something similar?

Absolutely! If its not quite what you’re looking for just get in touch and we can source one with our Free, No Obligation sourcing service. You can contact us on phone, live chat or simply submit the details of what you’re looking for on our “Find a Watch” page.

Shipping & Returns

Can you ship an order to arrive on a certain day?
