In 1979, Piaget introduced the Piaget Polo, a watch that defined the spirit of the 1980s and set a new standard for elegant sports watches. Created in response to evolving lifestyles, the Polo combined luxury with practicality, offering a timepiece that was both shockproof and waterproof, catering to clients who sought sophistication even in their active pursuits.
A Technology Ahead of Its Time
Crafted entirely from 18-carat gold, the watch’s seamless design integrated the case, bracelet, and dial into a cohesive whole, embodying modern elegance. Its versatility made it a favorite among the jet set, gracing New York’s Studio 54 and Palm Beach’s polo clubs alike. Advertised as "the world’s ultimate sports watch," the Piaget Polo paired functionality with exclusivity, supported by Piaget’s mastery of ultra-thin movements like the groundbreaking 7P quartz and 9P mechanical calibers.
A Timeless Icon Reimagined
Now, 45 years later, the Piaget Polo '79 has been reborn to celebrate Piaget's 150th anniversary. While remaining true to its original design, the updated version features a slightly larger 38mm case and the in-house 1200P1 self-winding calibre, visible through a sapphire crystal case back. Retaining its iconic status, the Polo '79 combines timeless design with modern innovation, solidifying its legacy as the ultimate sports elegant watch.
