Piaget Polo Unveils Its First Flying Tourbillon Ahead Of Tenth Anniversary
The Piaget Polo collection, which has been captivating watch enthusiasts for nearly a decade, is set to celebrate its tenth anniversary next year. This iconic line, recognized for its sophisticated designs and impressive craftsmanship, now welcomes a remarkable new addition: the first-ever Flying Tourbillon model. This introduction further solidifies Piaget’s reputation for pushing the boundaries of watchmaking excellence.
Housed in a sleek titanium case, the latest Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon embodies elegance and technical mastery. The case measures 44mm in diameter and is just 9.80mm thick, a testament to the brand’s expertise in crafting ultra-thin timepieces. The titanium construction features a brushed finish on the surfaces and polished bevels, enhancing its visual appeal. Sapphire crystal protects the dial, while a smooth bezel and short lugs contribute to the refined design. Blue PVD-coated inserts on the groove profiles and a matching crown cap bearing the brand’s signature add distinctive touches. The solid case back, secured by eight screws, includes a round window that offers a captivating view of the tourbillon. With 100 meters of water resistance, this watch is as functional as it is elegant.
The blue horizontal groove dial is a visual masterpiece, featuring an aperture at its center that partially reveals the intricate movement beneath. At the 12 o’clock position, the 60-second flying tourbillon commands attention, while the moonphase display at 6 o’clock adds a poetic touch. The moonphase indicator, accompanied by a pointer, brings balance to the dial’s design. Applied indexes and hands filled with Super-LumiNova ensure excellent legibility, while a flange with a minute track completes the sophisticated look.
Powering this exceptional timepiece is the hand-wound Caliber 642P, one of Piaget’s most important and complex movements. Comprising 175 components and 23 jewels, this caliber measures just 4mm in height, reflecting Piaget’s expertise in ultra-thin watchmaking. Operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, it provides a power reserve of up to 40 hours.
The Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon is paired with a blue rubber strap that echoes the dial’s groove design, secured by a titanium butterfly clasp. For added versatility, the set also includes a blue alligator leather strap, offering a more formal option. Priced at USD 99,000, this timepiece represents the pinnacle of Piaget’s watchmaking artistry and innovation.
With its groundbreaking complications and refined aesthetics, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon is a fitting tribute to the collection’s legacy as it approaches its tenth anniversary. It stands as a testament to Piaget’s dedication to creating timeless pieces that blend tradition and modernity in perfect harmony.
