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

Details
The Apex Of Eighties Design
The Piaget Polo, introduced in 1979, was the brand's unapologetically luxurious answer to the integrated sports watch craze. Instead of steel, Piaget leaned into its heritage as a master jeweler, creating a seamless sculpture of precious metal and stone. This example, executed in solid 18K yellow gold with a deep Lapis Lazuli dial, represents the model in its most potent and desirable form. It is a pure expression of a design language that defined an era of high fashion and confident taste.
A Flawless Execution In Gold And Stone
What elevates this particular Polo is the perfect harmony of its materials and the quality of its execution. The dial is a stunning piece of natural Lapis Lazuli, accented with Piaget's signature gold Gadroon finishing. Critically, the three bars of lapis that surround the dial, a known vulnerability on these models, are entirely free of cracks. The contrast between the deep, cosmic blue of the stone and the warmth of the yellow gold is the entire point of the watch, and here it is perfectly rendered. This is not just a rare configuration, but a rare survivor.
A Study In Preservation
This example is in excellent condition. The heavy, solid 18K yellow gold case and integrated bracelet retain their sharp lines and original finishing. The Lapis Lazuli dial and its surrounding stone inserts are flawless, a crucial detail for any serious collector of this reference. The watch is powered by a reliable quartz movement, the non-fussy engine that Piaget chose for its most forward-thinking designs of the period. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Jewelry That Happens To Tell Time
The Polo was conceived as a single piece of jewelry, where the bracelet and case form one continuous, flowing line on the wrist. This is a watch for someone who understands that design, not just mechanics, can define a timepiece. It wears with a substantial weight that belies its refined size, a constant reminder of its solid gold construction. It is an artifact from a specific moment in watchmaking history, yet it feels entirely relevant today as a statement of pure, uncompromised style.
