A familiar silhouette reappears, but with an interpretation that immediately stands out. Piaget revives an icon from its catalog by confronting it with an unexpected mineral aesthetic. This version does not aim to please everyone—it asserts a clear vision, balancing heritage and contemporary expression.
A sculpted white gold case with a fully integrated bracelet
The Piaget Polo 79 features a 38 mm case with a thickness of 7.45 mm, proportions faithful to the spirit of the original model. The entire piece is crafted in 18-carat white gold, alternating between brushed surfaces, chamfers, and polished gadroons that shape the light.
The design retains its hybrid construction between a cushion-shaped case and a round bezel, a strong visual signature of the collection. The result is both geometric and fluid, with no break between the different elements.
The integrated bracelet, also in 18-carat white gold, follows the same logic, with brushed links punctuated by polished gadroons. It is equipped with a triple-blade folding clasp, ensuring both security and comfort.
The watch features sapphire crystal on both sides, offering a view of the movement, and is water-resistant to 50 meters, suitable for everyday use.
A sodalite dial with a strong visual identity
The dial is the most striking element of this Polo 79. Piaget opts for blue sodalite, a natural stone with deep hues and light veining. This mineral base is combined with 18-carat white gold gadroons, creating a dialogue between natural texture and watchmaking structure. The result is a distinctive visual contrast, rarely seen in this collection.
The white gold dauphine hands integrate discreetly, allowing the material to take center stage. The display is limited to hours and minutes, reinforcing the model’s minimalist approach. Each dial is unique, giving the watch an almost one-of-a-kind dimension and strengthening its position in the high-end segment.
An ultra-thin 1200P1 caliber at the heart of Piaget’s finesse
The Polo 79 is powered by the in-house Piaget 1200P1 caliber, an ultra-thin automatic movement known for its slimness and well-controlled architecture. It operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of 44 hours. It contains 25 jewels, helping reduce friction.
Measuring 29.9 mm in diameter and just 2.35 mm thick, it allows the watch to maintain an exceptionally slim profile. It incorporates a micro-rotor, a technical solution that saves space while ensuring efficient winding.
The finishing reflects the brand’s craftsmanship: circular graining on the main plate, beveled bridges with circular Geneva stripes, sunburst wheels, and blued screws. The entire movement is visible through the sapphire case back, enhancing its appeal for watch enthusiasts.
