Summary

  • Piaget unveils the Polo 79 Two-Tone, continuing the renaissance of its iconic sports-elegant watch
  • Crafted entirely from 18K gold, the 38mm case and bracelet blend brushed white with polished yellow gadroons
  • Powered by the ultra-thin 1200P1 caliber, it balances Extraleganza style with refined versatility

This year, Piaget continues the celebrated renaissance of its most iconic sports-elegant timepiece with a new Piaget Polo 79 Two-Tone.

Following the successful yellow gold relaunch in 2024 and a white gold iteration in 2025, this new edition honors a rare configuration from the original 1979 debut. While the interplay of metals might suggest a contemporary blend of steel and gold, Piaget remains steadfast in its founding philosophy that “time should only be measured in gold”. Consequently, the watch is crafted entirely from precious metals, featuring a brushed 18K white gold case and integrated bracelet dramatically punctuated by polished 18K yellow gold gadroons.

The 38mm timepiece showcases Piaget’s signature “Extraleganza” style, balancing sporting spirit with refined versatility. The solid gold dial echoes the case’s bimetal aesthetic, featuring brushed yellow gold hands and a seamless integration of the two-tone philosophy. Despite its luxurious weight, the watch maintains an elegant profile on the wrist thanks to the ultra-thin caliber 1200P1, which measures a mere 2.35mm in thickness.
