Piaget claims to make "double records" with the Altiplano Chronograph.
First is the world's thinnest (manually wound) mechanical flyback chronograph movement, with the in-house made Piaget caliber 883P that is just 4.65mm thick.
Second is the world's thinnest flyback chronograph movement based watch case, as the Piaget Altiplano Chronograph is just 8.24mm thick.

Note the specific verbiage used by Piaget: while the Piaget Altiplano Chronograph is very thin, it doesn't contain the thinnest chronograph movement in the world. Movements such as the caliber 1180 family by Blancpain (F. Piguet) are thinner. The distinction here is the flyback feature. Also, while the layout of the 883P at first glance appears to resemble a traditional 12-hour chronograph dial, it isn't. The 883P is built based on Piaget's existing 880P family of in-house made chronograph movements. These have 30 minute chronographs (counter at 3 o'clock), a running seconds indicator at 6 o'clock, and a GMT 24-hour hand in the subdial at 9 o'clock, used to indicate the time in a second time zone. Also, no date here, to detract from the elegantly clear face. This is actually the first time I've seen an Altiplano dial with more than two hands be symmetrical.

Мне не нравится простецкий вид с лица и диаметр 41 мм - тонкие часы в таком размере выглядят блюдцем.
