Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Manual 38mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 38 mm case suggests

Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Manual 38mm measures 41.9 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.10 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 88% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 78% of the 27 Piaget watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 47 mm (1.85 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 56 mm (2.20 in) it starts to look compact. Below 41.9 mm (1.65 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
