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.

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….
