Aug 16, 2009 · In 1979, Piaget debuted its iconic Piaget Polo with striped godrons which was only available in precious metals with an integrated bracelet. For a look at more Piaget Polo variations, please read MTF's post here: piaget.watchprosite.com.
Feb 10, 2023 · The Piaget Polo FortyFive Chronograph was the first to use the ultra-thin manufacture calibre 880P, which was introduced by Piaget back in 2007 to mark 50 years of ultra-thin movements. It offers a flyback chrono with a 50-hour power reserve and is just 5.6 mm high.
This evolution of the early 2000s peaked in the Piaget Polo FortyFive models. The collection metamorphosed the original 1979 concept into a very modern-era relevant aesthetic.

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.
Feb 10, 2023 · It was in 1985 that the Piaget Polo was first properly shared with a wider audience after Piaget himself shut down Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue to ride a team of polo horses down the iconic street. By this point, Piaget had already sponsored a number of events at the Palm Beach Polo Club, but the event in the heart of New York City attracted a ...

Sep 16, 2021 · This gradual evolution culminated in the Piaget Polo FortyFive, released 30 years after the original. This was a watch that shared the same bold spirit of the original 1979 model but was perfect for its era.
