Piaget Polo - Integrated Gold Bracelet Two Tone Dial

Details

The Definitive Eighties Status Symbol

The Piaget Polo is the watch that defined the jet set lifestyle of the early 1980s. Launched by Yves Piaget, it was engineered as a watch bracelet where the case and the links merged into one continuous golden object. This reference is what collectors refer to as the Polo Polo. It is the most recognizable execution of the design, featuring the signature horizontal gadroons that run through the dial and the bracelet. It represents the peak of Piaget’s focus on high heft, solid gold luxury that functions as much as a piece of jewelry as a timepiece.

A Study In Solid Gold Contrast

While Piaget produced various versions of the Polo, the two tone white and yellow gold execution is the one that most collectors visualize. The contrast between the two metals highlights the architectural nature of the gadroons, making the pattern more pronounced. This is a watch that relies on its material weight and its unique geometry to make a statement. It is a high-luxury object that was designed for the individual who wanted the most significant and recognizable gold watch on the market.

Honest Vintage Condition

This watch is in fair condition and shows the honest signs of being worn and enjoyed over the decades. The 18k gold surfaces show visible marks and surface wear throughout, consistent with a vintage piece of this age. The integrated bracelet remains structurally sound and maintains its distinctive two tone finish. Both the dial and crystal are clean. On the mechanical side, the quartz movement is running strong after passing our test bench and is keeping proper time.

The Ultimate Integrated Statement

The Polo works because it is unapologetic about its luxury. While many modern watches lean toward steel, this solid gold build provides a weight and presence on the wrist that is impossible to ignore. It is a piece of design history that has aged into a permanent icon. For someone who wants the ultimate expression of the integrated look from the era of excess, this two tone Polo remains the benchmark.

History

When Piaget unveiled the Polo in 1979, the watch world was still processing what Audemars Piguet had done in 1972 with the Royal Oak. Piaget's answer was the Polo: an integrated bracelet watch with an ultrathin movement housed in a round case, built entirely in 18-karat gold, and priced accordingly.

The Polo was named for the sport that Yves G. Piaget — grandson of the founder — played and sponsored, and the watch carried his sensibility: sporty enough to wear at the polo grounds, refined enough to wear at the dinner that followed. The integrated bracelet, with its alternating polished and brushed surfaces, is one of the most tactile in the industry.

Reference 7661 (the "Jumbo" Polo in 34mm) and the smaller 861 C 701 are the classic references. Available in yellow and white gold, with onyx, diamond, and solid-colored dials, the Polo represents Piaget at full confidence — a manufactory that had spent decades making the thinnest movements in the world, finally putting them in a watch that matched their ambition.

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….
