A little less than a month after we saw Piaget present at Watches and Wonders several new models in the Polo collection, including a trio of the Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin in stainless steel, pink gold and white gold with blue-sapphire bezel set and even a “humble” Polo Field in steel with a green dial, and all these new inclusions in the 42mm diameter size, Piaget now launches a new 36mm Polo Date Watch.

At first glance, the new Polo looks almost identical to the existing 36mm version including the blue dial with a guilloche pattern, although it now comes attached to a calf leather strap matching the hue of the dial instead of the previously integrated steel bracelet.

In addition to the new strap option mentioned above, another great novelty is that it no longer comes with the previous white gold diamond set hour markers that are now replaced by baton hour markers with a brushed finish matching the bezel.

Everything else on the watch remains unchanged, namely the 36mm diameter by 8.8mm thick steel case, smooth bezel, sapphire glass on the front and case back, 50m water resistance and on the blue dial in addition to the applied hour markers, skeletonized hands, central seconds hand and framed date window at 6 o’clock.

Inside, it continues to come powered by the manufacture Piaget 500P1 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 Vph and offering up to 40 hours of power reserve.

The watch will be available from the 19th of April in the brand’s official boutiques and authorized retailers for a price of $11,000.

Born in 1979 and inspired by equestrian sport, the Piaget Polo soon stood out for its elegance and status, becoming the main watch collection of the Swiss brand.

The Piaget Polo, which is recognizable for its rounded case but mainly for its uncharacteristic square-shaped dial with rounded sides, has known numerous iterations over the years, contemplating different materials and complications.

Already in 2022, we saw the arrival of two new models to the collection displaying a green dial, we are talking about the Piaget Polo Date in rose gold and the Piaget Polo Skeleton in stainless steel, and now in 2023, it is the turn of the arrival of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra- Thin.

The new Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin follows the trail started in 2022 by displaying a green dial with a gadroon pattern (horizontal stripes) and three sub-dials at 3-9-12 o’clock corresponding to the date, weekday and month (along with leap year indication) respectively and also a moon-phase indicator at 6 o’clock. Lastly, applied hour markers and hands filled with Super-LumiNova.

On the outside, the latest Polo Perpetual Calendar is based on a stainless steel case measuring 42mm in diameter by 8.65mm thick, with finishes that alternate between polished and brushed, as also happens with its steel bracelet. Besides the smooth bezel, fluted crown with the brand’s “P” signature, sapphire glass on the front and on the case back and 30m of water resistance.

As is the tradition of the brand, inside it comes equipped with the “ultra-thin” Caliber 1255P (only 4mm) with a micro-rotor, which operates at 21,600 Vph and offers up to 42 hours of power reserve.

It should also be noted that in addition to the steel bracelet mentioned above, the watch also comes with a green rubber strap. The watch can be purchased at official brand boutiques and authorized retailers for USD 58,500.

Piaget

Altiplano Ultimate Concept

In 2019, Piaget introduced for the first time the thinnest mechanical watch of all time, the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Watch, something that Piaget knows how to do better than any other brand. Piaget is a Swiss brand founded in 1874, which supplied the watch industry with components until 1940, the year it started producing its own watches, and became an expert in the development of ultra-thin watch movements and tourbillons.

The Altiplano returns to the market no longer as a conceptual watch, but now as a commercial watch and even though it is not a limited edition, the number of pieces produced is very small. This watch is the crowning achievement of an incredible job, the main material used to produce this watch is cobalt, only 2mm thick, this watch allows you to observe almost all components working. This watch was also designed to be a unique piece, as it allows to “customize” almost all the components of the watch, offering more than 10,000 possibilities according to the brand.

Other specifications: case diameter 41mm, an in-house manual movement Caliber 900P-UC, 40h power reserve.
