Polo Grande

Piaget introduced the Polo in 1979, creating one of the defining watch designs of its era — a singular form in which the case, bezel, and bracelet flow seamlessly into a unified architectural statement. Executed in white gold with a diamond-set bezel, the Polo evolves from a refined sports watch into an expression of understated luxury without sacrificing its unmistakable design language.

This example, produced in the 2000s, illustrates the Polo's evolution from its 1970s origins into a thoroughly modern everyday watch with an elegant twist. The substantial 18K white gold tonneau-shaped case, paired with a diamond-set bezel, lends the design contemporary sophistication while preserving its distinctive heritage. Renowned for its mastery of ultra-thin watchmaking, Piaget continues that tradition here with the automatic Caliber 800P, measuring just 4mm thick. At a time when many manufacturers turned to quartz for smaller, slimmer watches, Piaget remained committed to developing refined mechanical movements, reinforcing that the maison's reputation rests as much on its horological innovation as on its celebrated jewelry craftsmanship.
