Piaget Polo 7131 C 701 - 18K Yellow Gold Gadroon Dial

Details
An Answer To The Steel Sports Watch
Introduced in 1979, the Piaget Polo was the brand's unapologetically luxurious answer to the integrated steel sports watches from Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe. While competitors focused on steel, Piaget leaned into its identity as a jeweler and created something entirely different. The Polo was conceived from day one in precious metal, designed as an extravagant statement piece that merged the worlds of high fashion and horology. This 1980s yellow gold example is a perfect representation of that original vision.
Seamless Gold Integration
The defining feature of the Polo is the seamless transition from case to bracelet. The design is fluid and uninterrupted, with polished horizontal bars flowing across the entire watch, creating a single, cohesive piece of jewelry that also tells time. This level of integration required immense precision and engineering, resulting in a watch that wears with a softness and comfort that its more angular rivals could not match. The gold Gadroon dial completes the look, making the entire piece a study in texture and form.
Good Overall And Ready To Wear
This example is in good overall condition. The solid gold bracelet retains its original finish with some small signs of wear, and the dial is in great shape. The crystal has a scratch located near the center at the 4:30 position. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Height Of 1980s Design
The Polo works because it never tried to be a tool watch. It was designed for leisure and luxury, and it still occupies that space perfectly. The 25mm case size and integrated bracelet make it feel more like a substantial piece of jewelry, equally at home at a gallery opening or a weekend getaway. For the person who appreciates the design ambition of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the yellow gold Polo remains a benchmark reference.

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….
