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.

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….
