Piaget Lady Polo 8306 C702 - 18K Yellow Gold Mother of Pearl Diamond Dial

Trade In
Details
The Top Of The Polo Catalog
Piaget entered the luxury sports watch conversation of the 1970s from a completely different direction than everyone else. While the rest of the field was busy proving that steel could be precious, Piaget declined the premise and built the Polo entirely in gold, case and bracelet worked as a single flowing object. This reference sits at the top of that catalog. It pairs the Polo form with a mother of pearl dial and factory diamond work, which is as far as the model went before it stopped being a watch and became jewelry outright.
Diamonds In Four Places
The diamond work here goes well past a set bezel. Piaget placed stones on the bezel, atop the mother of pearl dial, on the crown, and into the bracelet itself, so light comes off the watch from every angle it is turned. The mother of pearl underneath all of it is doing its own work, shifting in tone as the wrist moves. This was the high end of the catalog, and finding a vintage Polo still complete in this configuration is genuinely difficult.
Very Good And Complete
For its age, this example is in very good condition. The 18K yellow gold case and integrated bracelet have been well preserved and the crisp lines of the Polo design remain intact. The bracelet is structurally sound throughout, which is the first thing to check on an integrated Piaget of this era. The mother of pearl dial is clean. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
More Bracelet Than Watch
The Polo was built for a client who cared about presence more than specification, and this piece is the purest version of that idea. It sits on the wrist as a gold bracelet with a small window of mother of pearl set into it, and the diamonds make certain it is read as jewelry first. Late seventies Piaget has come all the way back around, and pieces from this level of the catalog tend to disappear into collections rather than circulate. It is a confident choice and an easy one to wear.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
