Piaget Polo 7661 C 701 - 18K Yellow Gold Gadroon Dial

Details
An Icon Of 1980s Extravagance
When the luxury sports watch category was defined by steel, Piaget took a different path. Introduced in 1979, the Polo was an unapologetic statement in solid gold, a direct and extravagant answer to the integrated bracelet designs from other top houses. It was conceived not just as a watch, but as a piece of jewelry that happened to tell time, perfectly capturing the confident, jet-set glamour of the era. The continuous, fluid design of the case and bracelet remains a high point of 1980s watchmaking ambition.
The Larger, More Wearable Size
This reference 7661 C 701 is the 34mm "Jumbo" version of the classic round Polo, the largest size offered during the original production run. This makes it the preferred choice for a modern wrist, offering significantly more presence than the smaller models from the same period. The all-gold construction, from the case to the dial and bracelet, is pure Piaget. It is the definitive expression of the brand's commitment to precious metal at a time when the rest of the industry was focused elsewhere.
A Well Preserved Gold Standard
This example is in very good condition. The 18k yellow gold case and integrated bracelet present beautifully, showing the clean lines and seamless construction that define the Polo. The matching yellow gold Gadroon dial is perfect. The overall presentation is strong, offering a great option for someone looking for a clean, wearable example of this iconic design. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Definition Of Sport Chic
This watch is for someone who understands the bold confidence of 1980s design. The weight of the gold and the unique, fluid construction make a clear statement. It is less of a tool and more of a wearable piece of art. The integrated design allows it to sit perfectly on the wrist, making it far more comfortable than its solid gold construction might suggest. It is a classic that still feels entirely relevant.

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….
