PIAGET POLO 79

In 1979, Piaget introduced a timepiece that would define a bold and sophisticated era. For the first time, the Maison gave one of its creations an official name: the Piaget Polo - a nod to the sport itself and to the jet-set spirit of the 1980s. Today, Piaget celebrates the return of a legend with the Piaget Polo 79 watch. Faithful to its original design, it has been subtly updated to reflect a contemporary sensibility.

With its avant-garde aesthetic and refined elegance, the Piaget Polo 79 retains all the features that made it an icon: a fluid silhouette, a full gold construction, and the seamless integration of case and bracelet. This gold watch  offers a bold expression of style, designed for those who appreciate timeless design and horological heritage.

Crafted in both yellow gold and white gold, the Piaget Polo 79 watch showcases the Maison’s exceptional expertise in gold craftsmanship. Every element, from the case and dial to the bracelet and hour markers, is crafted in gold, creating perfect harmony between material, volume, and light. Each Piaget Polo 79 gold watch is a masterpiece of design and execution.

The alternating satin-brushed and polished finishes, a hallmark of the collection, create subtle contrasts that enhance the watch’s sophistication. The bracelet, seamlessly integrated with the case, adds to the fluidity and comfort - an enduring signature of Piaget’s design philosophy.

The Piaget Polo 79 is powered by the 1200P1 manufacture caliber, an ultra-thin automatic movement renowned for its precision and slim profile. Powered by the natural motion of the wrist, the internal oscillating weight generates the energy needed to keep the watch running, eliminating the need for manual winding.

Thanks to its slender architecture, the 1200P1 caliber allows the Piaget Polo 79 to maintain its sleek, streamlined profile while delivering reliable and long-lasting performance. This mechanical finesse not only defines its refined silhouette but also reflects the technical mastery that characterizes Piaget’s approach to Haute Horlogerie.

Founded in 1874 in the Swiss village of La Côte-aux-Fées, Piaget established itself from the very beginning as a workshop of exceptional precision. In the 1950s, the Maison revolutionized watchmaking with the development of ultra-thin movements, which soon became iconic. In 1979, Piaget ushered in a new chapter with the launch of the Piaget Polo: an elegant gold watch with a groundbreaking design that seamlessly blended form and function.

Today, the Piaget Polo 79 carries forward this legacy while celebrating modernity and bold creativity. A true symbol of Piaget style, it embodies a vision of time where elegance is lived every day, worn effortlessly on the wrist.
