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.
