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.
