Details
The Original Gold Sports Watch
When the luxury sports watch category was taking shape in steel, Piaget took a different path. The Polo, introduced in 1979, was their unapologetic answer, executed from day one in solid precious metal. It was designed for a world of aristocratic leisure, named after the sport of kings, and it perfectly captured the confident extravagance of the 1980s. The defining feature is the seamless integration between the case and bracelet, creating a continuous flow of gold that was a feat of high-level engineering and design.
An Exercise In Precious Metal
This example is a pure expression of the original Polo concept. The entire watch, from the case and bezel to the bracelet and even the dial itself, is crafted from solid 18k yellow gold. The dial features the signature Gadroon finish, a pattern of parallel ribs that adds texture and depth, catching the light in a way a flat surface cannot. It is a piece that reads as both a watch and a piece of fine jewelry, a testament to Piaget's dual mastery of watchmaking and high design.
Well Preserved For Its Era
The overall condition of this watch is good. The 18k yellow gold case and integrated bracelet are well-preserved, appear unpolished, and show signs of wear consistent with their age. The gold Gadroon dial has a couple of small age-related blemish spots. The integrated bracelet, a critical component for these models, has retained its structural integrity. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Statement Of Unapologetic Style
The Piaget Polo is for someone who appreciates the design language of the late 70s and 80s, an era of bold choices and confident luxury. This is not a subtle watch, nor is it meant to be. It is a conversation piece that sidesteps the usual suspects, offering a different kind of vintage prestige. It wears like a bracelet, its fluid lines making it exceptionally comfortable on the wrist. It is a choice for someone who wants to wear a piece of design history.
