Details
The Apex Of 1980s Luxury Sport
When the luxury sports watch category was being defined by steel, Piaget made a different and far more extravagant choice. The Polo, introduced in 1979, was the brand's unapologetic statement piece, engineered from solid gold from day one. It was a direct challenge to its rivals, prioritizing opulence and a seamless, jewelry-like quality over austere utility. The design is a masterclass in integration, with the case and bracelet flowing into a single, continuous form. This was not a watch for professionals, it was a watch for a lifestyle.
The Ultimate Factory Specification
This example represents the highest execution of the vintage Polo. While the solid gold construction is the foundation, the factory diamond-set Gadroons elevate the watch to another level entirely. These diamonds are not an afterthought, they are integrated directly into the iconic horizontal bars that define the Polo's design language. Finding any vintage Polo is a challenge, but sourcing a factory diamond dial example, particularly in this state of preservation, is genuinely difficult. It is the definitive specification for the reference.
Excellent, Unpolished, And Authentic
This example is in very good, unpolished vintage condition. The 18k yellow gold case retains its original sharp lines and factory finishing, something rarely seen on a gold watch of this era. The integrated bracelet is tight and maintains its structural integrity. The caseback displays a beautiful and subtle purple oxidation, a clear indicator of honest age on uncirculated vintage gold. 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 a defining object of its time, and it has re-entered the conversation for collectors who value bold, confident design. It wears like a piece of jewelry, with a presence on the wrist that is both substantial and comfortable. The quartz movement adds a layer of practicality, making this a reliable and effortless watch to own. This is not for someone looking for a subtle, under-the-radar piece. It is for the person who understands and appreciates the intersection of high watchmaking and high fashion.

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….
