Piaget Polo 8131 C705 - 18K Yellow Gold Diamond Gadroon Bracelet

Details
The Apex Of Piaget's Design Ambition
The Piaget Polo was the brand's definitive entry into the luxury sports watch category in 1979. It was an immediate statement of intent, offered from the outset in precious metal and designed with a seamless integration between case and bracelet that few could match. This reference, the 8131 C705, represents the most extravagant and rare expression of that original vision. It elevates the iconic design to the level of high jewelry, combining solid 18K yellow gold with a factory diamond bezel, a diamond Gadroon bracelet, and an incredibly uncommon dial configuration.
A Unique Staggered Diamond Setting
The centerpiece of this watch is its dial. It is not a standard pave finish. Instead, the champagne metallic surface features horizontal rows of diamonds set in a distinctive staggered pattern. This arrangement creates a unique texture and play of light that is both sophisticated and visually complex. The effect is amplified by the diamond-set bezel and the alternating polished and diamond Gadroon links of the integrated bracelet. This is a rare, factory-set execution that showcases Piaget's mastery of both gem-setting and watch design.
A Well Preserved High Jewelry Piece
This example is in very good condition. The champagne dial and its unique diamond setting are perfect, as is the crystal. The 18K yellow gold case and integrated bracelet are in very good shape, retaining the sharp lines and complex finishing that define the Polo design. For a watch of this intricacy and material, finding an example this well-preserved is genuinely difficult. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Unapologetic And Impossible To Replace
This is a statement piece that captures the confident luxury of its era. It exists at the intersection of haute horology and high jewelry, a territory where Piaget has always been a leader. The 20mm case wears like a piece of fine jewelry, yet the integrated design gives it the substance and presence of a serious watch. For the collector who understands the significance of the Polo and appreciates rare factory configurations, this is a top-tier example that would be nearly impossible to find again.
