Gold Meets Bold: The Piaget Polo 79 Unveiled for the Next Gen

The Piaget Polo, an emblem of luxury and sportiness since the 1970s, makes a grand comeback with its original design, now infused with modern craftsmanship and an ultra-thin automatic movement. Celebrating Piaget's 150th anniversary, the Polo 79 revives the classic opulence and equestrian chic of its predecessor, presented in full gold attire.

Aesthetics

The Polo 79 maintains the iconic horizontal gadroons that merge the bracelet, case, and dial into a cohesive whole, all fashioned from 3N 18k yellow gold. Its 38mm diameter suits contemporary tastes without compromising elegance, while the intricate case and bracelet design blends polished and brushed finishes for a luxurious look and feel. The gold dial, adorned with dauphine-style hands, completes the watch's sophisticated aesthetic.

Movement

At the heart of the Polo 79 beats the Piaget calibre 1200P1, an evolution of the brand's ultra-thin automatic movements. This in-house caliber, just 2.35mm thick and featuring an off-centered micro-rotor, exemplifies Piaget's mastery of watchmaking. It combines technical innovation with exquisite finishing, including circular-grained plates and beveled bridges, ensuring both precision and beauty.

Availability & Pricing

Priced at EUR 80,000, the Polo 79 is not just a watch but a statement of luxury and exclusivity. Available through Piaget's official channels, it's produced in limited quantities as part of the permanent collection, offering a unique blend of heritage and modern sophistication to discerning collectors and enthusiasts.
