- The Piaget Polo was launched in 1979 and remained in production until 1990. A truly opulent piece of horology, with its thick yellow gold case and ribbed design on the case and bracelet, it became an icon of its time, worn on the wrists of Andy Warhol, Brooke Shields, and Björn Borg.

- Made in different sizes as well as in a square shape, the majority housed quartz movements, with only a handful featuring automatic movements.

- The present example is a charming and very attractive version. Crafted in white and yellow gold and set throughout with diamonds, it is lavish and stylish, sure to bring a bit of glamour to whomever wears the timepiece. It is furthermore preserved in excellent and barely worn condition with deep hallmarks and crisp numbers on the outside caseback.

Piaget

Swiss | 1874

Creativity, audacity and know-how are the values that gave Piaget its international reputation and allowed the brand to distinguish itself in the world of fine watchmaking and precision. Founder Georges Edouard Piaget established the company in 1874 and manufactured watch movements. While Piaget is famously recognized today for their elaborate wristwatch and bangle designs, they also mastered the marriage of their high-quality, in-house-produced wristwatches and stunning pieces of jewelry.


Collectors consider the 1970s as Piaget's era of superb creativity and unbounded designs. During this highly creative period, the brand designed an impressive range of cuff and bracelet watches carved in gold and adorned with exotic hard stones. Admired by most as not only jewelry but also true works of art, the firm's hard stone dial watches remain the most iconic, recognizable and desirable among collectors.
