As far as I know, and from a non-professional flyer, airliners have three altimeters. One will be found on the LHS PFD, one will be found on the RHS PFD and the third will be a traditional backup altimeter found on the center panel between the LHS and RHS.

The two altimeters on the PFDs are electronic nowadays. The backup will be simple retro style.
