Piaget Altiplano Skeleton Only Watch 2011

For the fourth consecutive time, Piaget is supporting the Only Watch charity auction. This exceptional event, held every two years in Monaco during the Monaco Yacht Show, is under the patronage of HSH Prince Albert II. All the proceeds from this auction go to support research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This disease is characterized by a progressive weakening of the muscles which results in respiratory and cardiac problems which can prove fatal to children.

Its unique ultra-thin achievements as well as its creative interpretations of the finest horological complications establish the brand at the very peak of watch movement manufacturing traditions.
