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

Trade In
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.

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….
