Piaget Polo 8243 Ladies - 18K Yellow Gold Champagne Gadroon Dial

Details
The Apex Of 1980s Design
The Piaget Polo was the brand's answer to the luxury sports watch category that defined the late 1970s and 80s. Instead of following the steel trend, Piaget leaned into its identity as a master jeweler, creating a fluid, integrated design entirely in precious metal. This ladies' reference in 18K yellow gold is a pure expression of that ethos. It captures the confidence and extravagance of its era with a design that is still unmatched in its commitment to form.
A Study In Gold And Texture
This example is a less common execution of the classic Polo design, featuring the iconic case on an original leather strap and buckle. This configuration shifts the focus entirely to the watch head itself. The champagne dial features the signature Gadroon finish, creating a sense of depth and texture that plays with the light. The continuous flow from the bezel into the case is a hallmark of the Polo, a sophisticated design detail that made it an instant icon.
A Well Preserved Original
This piece is in very good, all-original condition. The 18K yellow gold case retains its distinct shape and finish. The dial is clean, and the textural details are well-defined. It is fitted with its original Piaget leather strap and signed 18K gold buckle, completing the factory look. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Effortless And Distinctive Style
This watch works for someone who appreciates the intersection of high jewelry and watchmaking. The case size is subtle, but the solid gold construction and unmistakable design make a clear statement. It is a piece that feels both of its time and timeless, offering a level of design purity that is hard to find in modern watches. The quartz movement makes it a practical and reliable choice for daily wear.
