The brushing is like silk, the polish like liquid. The bevelling that runs the length of the case and bracelet is a flourish that demonstrates another level of expertise over the Piaget. Unsurprisingly, the movements are also emblematic of the budget. Although both watches are endowed with manufacturer-made calibres, the 1110P for the Piaget ...
Jan 19, 2024 · Despite Piaget’s mechanically and architecturally excellent timepieces, watches like this Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin are not always considered when evaluated against its competitors from brands such as Audemars Piguet, Bulgari, Vacheron Costantin, and other brands. That status quo can be a good thing for enthusiasts who want a refined ...

Piaget’s move into the high-end steel sports market surprised many – but how does the Polo S hold up under close inspection? The Polo S caused quite a fuss when it was released. Not only was this steel sports watch far from what most people expect from the reserved Genevan brand, they also released it at a star-studded launch party in Brooklyn – th...
Piaget first introduced the Polo back in 1979 and, much like the Nautilus, Royal Oak et al, it was very much an ‘of the time’ design with bold vertical stripes bisecting the case and bracelet. Fast forward to 2009 and the Polo still had a place in Piaget’s line-up, the titanium-cased Polo FortyFive, which simultaneously beefed up the case size and ...
Now that the history lesson is over, let’s talk about the case. While there’s a clear link to the tonneau shaped Polo models of yore, for me the Polo S bears a striking resemblance to Piaget’s high-end Emperador collection, thanks to the TV shaped dial in a wide flaked case. The flat oval shaped bezel has remarkably even horizontal brushing (not as...
The Polo S comes in slate grey, silver or blue dial options (the chrono only comes in blue or silver), and because of how different this dial looks under different lights, I just had to check the paperwork from Piaget to see which version we were sent. This is the slate grey version, but depending on the light it can shift from silver to pitch blac...
In many watches, even high-end ones, the bracelet is often an afterthought. Well, that has never been the case with Piaget, and it’s certainly not the case here. The bracelet of the Polo S is the best in its class. The Royal Oak bracelet might have the edge in terms of wearability, and the quick-change system on Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas is in...
The calibre 1110P runs the Polo S – a new 4mm thick in-house automatic that runs at 4 Hz, and has around 50 hours of power reserve. It’s a beautifully finished movement, but lacks any bells and whistles like silicon escapements or a long power reserve.
I think most of the brouhaha around the Polo S comes down to the fact that a casual steel sports watch is absolutely not what’s expected of the brand, best known for their ultra-slim pieces. But if you judge the watch solely on its own merits it’s hard to beat. Truly A-grade case and bracelet, in-house movement, style that’s distinctive, (without b...
If you’re in the market for a high end steel sports watch and aren’t wedded to the respective cults of AP or Patek, then the Polo S should be very high on your list.
Jan 25, 2024 · In 1979 Piaget introduced the Polo, a solid gold watch with 132-136 grams of gold. There were round and square options, both in a small and large size targeted at men and women, respectively. The gold is satin-finished, with polished gadroons in between giving the Polo its signature look.
May 18, 2023 · In this Piaget watches review, we’ll take a hands-on look at some of Piaget’s most popular models: the high complications yet sporty elegant Piaget Polo S and the impressively Piaget Altiplano G0A38131, and provide you with an honest review of their features, design elements, and price point.
