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

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.
