Min. ReadPiaget's latest addition to its celebrated Polo Date lineup is a true testament to the brand's dedication to luxury and innovation. The warm chocolate-brown dial exudes sophistication and pairs perfectly with the rose gold case, creating a timepiece that is both elegant and sporty.
Piaget's reputation as a pioneer of ultra-thin movements has been a success story since the 1950s. The brand is proud to regain its throne with world record-breaking watches such as the 2mm Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon. However, this is just the beginning; The eye-catching gold re-issue version of the 1979 Polo model is also highly appreciated. The model that most of us are familiar with is the luxury sports watch version of Polo, which was last updated in 2016. Although the similarities between the 1979 Polo and the sports watch are not immediately obvious, the cutouts adorning the dial are reminiscent of the distinctive patterns of the original Polo. The latest Polo Date model comes with a new chocolate-brown dial that fits perfectly with the hot pink gold case.
At 42mm in diameter and a slim 9.4mm high, the signature rounded, cushion-shaped case of the Polo Date provides a comfortable fit for any wrist. Crafted from rose gold, the case features meticulous detailing, including horizontal brushing on the wide bezel and satin-brushed sides with polished bevels, adding to its refined aesthetic.
The dial of the Polo Date is a work of art in itself, adorned with horizontal guilloché gadroons that pay homage to the original Polo design. The framed date window at 6 o'clock provides practicality without compromising on style, while the applied rose gold indices and luminescent inserts ensure legibility in any lighting condition. The luminescent hour and minute hands, along with the central seconds hand bearing the iconic 'P' counterweight, further enhance the functionality of this timepiece.
Turning the watch over reveals the impressive 1110P caliber movement through the sapphire crystal case back. With a thickness of just 4mm, this automatic movement beats at 4Hz and offers a respectable 50-hour power reserve. Adorned with circular Côtes de Genève on the bridges and a slate grey rotor, as well as bevelling and perlage on the main plate, the movement is a testament to Piaget's commitment to craftsmanship and precision.
Completing the ensemble is a brown alligator leather strap with a rose gold ardillon buckle, adding the perfect finishing touch to this luxurious sports watch. Whether worn for casual or formal occasions, the Piaget Polo Date with its warm chocolate-brown dial is sure to turn heads and make a statement wherever it goes.
