#GPHG 2024 Nominee - Iconic - Piaget Polo 79
By SENATUS Editor | 11 November 2024

In 1979, Piaget revealed a watch that would come to define the spirit of the 1980s, which is coming back to life today for the 150th anniversary of the Maison.

45 years after its first appearance, this historically significant timepiece is reborn as Piaget Polo 79 and still in keeping with today’s Zeitgeist and Piaget Society. The motif imparted by a construction of alternating polished gadroon and brushed block links continued seamlessly from bracelet, to case, and even to the dial.

Embracing the wrist like a second skin the bracelet was so skillfully wrought in Piaget’s workshops that it appeared to have been sculpted from a single piece of gold. Piaget Polo 79 returns to the purest expression of the original design, albeit with many updates. In line with current tastes the quartz calibre has been eschewed in favor of the ultra-thin 1200P1 in-house self-winding calibre that can be admired through the crystal back of a case that has been slightly enlarged to 38mm.
