For the first time, the Maison is welcoming ceramic into its watchmaking repertoire with the Piaget Polo Skeleton Ceramic. A jet-black ceramic finish modernizes an ultra-thin signature with lightweight sleekness.
Taking three years to develop, the Piaget Polo Skeleton fuses ceramic with Piaget’s art of skeletonization. With a striking, jet-black finish set in the Polo’s ultra-thin, second skin like signature, the design is an invitation to see beyond the obvious – injecting a bold modernity into Piaget’s most iconic watchmaking collection.
The biggest challenge was the watch’s development, where ceramic is seamlessly fused with Piaget’s ultra-thin DNA and aesthetic. Producing and finishing such slim, waterproof, yet robust ceramic components was a true feat of engineering and design, and a watchmaking first. It required the Manufacture to completely reconsider the watch’s existing constructions and build a new case from the ground up.
Anchoring the new construction is a special titanium container that houses the ceramic case and components. The titanium container is treated with black DLC to match the dark profile of the watch’s ceramic components, which includes a two-part case, crown and bezel. Exuding a strong and powerful, tone-ontone look with subtle grey shades, the new Piaget Polo Skeleton Ceramic brings everyday extravagance and cool to the wrist – while achieving a thickness of just 7.5mm. This is only 1mm above the existing Piaget Polo Skeleton steel and gold models – and a rare feat for a skeleton model housing an automatic winding system.
Powered by the Manufacture 1200S1 ultra-thin self-winding calibre, the watch’s jet-black aesthetic is contrasted by striking Superluminova accents: on the indexes and hands, and now for the first time, the Piaget logo on the oscillating weight.
This brings a unique dynamism to the design, complemented by the added versatility of the SingleTouch interchangeable strap system, first introduced on the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin black in 2023. The watch can be fitted with either a black rubber strap with a steel and titanium folding strap, or an additional blue rubber strap.
