Only Watch is a charity auction where 35 exceptional wristwatches are offered to support research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It will be held this year on September 20th in Monaco, under the patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco.

As everyone knows, each human being has a unique fingerprint. Piaget offers the opportunity to create a unique and personalized watch with the fingerprint of one’s choice. For the 2007 edition, Piaget has created a unique Altiplano watch with a dial design based on H.S.H Prince Albert II fingerprint.

The Piaget “Only Watch 2007”(lot 27) is a one-of-a-kind 18-carat 38 mm white gold watch.
The case is set with 78 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx 0.7 ct) and the dial representing the fingerprint of H.S.H. Prince Albert II de Monaco, is set with 316 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx 1.3 ct).
The Altiplano houses the Piaget Manufacture 430 P ultra-thin mechanical movement (2.1 mm thickness) and is decorated with circular Côtes de Genève, circular-grained mainplate, bridges bevelled and drawn out, blued screws, 18 jewels. Power reserve is about 40 hours.

This unique Altiplano watch will be on view in the following cities: Tokyo (August 24-25th), Shangaï (August 28-29th), Hong Kong (August 31st-Sept 1st), Geneva (Sept 13-14th) and Monaco (Sept 19-20th).
