The elaborate straw marquetry on the circular frame is the result of craftsmanship similar to wood marquetry . With the greatest skill , the artisan selects the pieces of straw based on to their colour shade to perfectly interpret the contrasts , colour and texture of the design . In order to match the dial , precision is paramount as every piece has to be accurate to a hundredth of a millimetre .
From breaking records of slenderness with breathtakingly thin movements to evolving its appearance with new materials and colours , Altiplano is always an original . Limited to just 26 pieces , the new Altiplano 60th Anniversary Pocket Watch demonstrates this icon ’ s ability to reinvent itself without every straying too far from the design codes that have made it the epitome of elegance for the past six decades .
