Commentary
The 36mm Polo Date was released as part of the Watches & Wonders novelty package by Piaget. Men’s watches are getting smaller, and Piaget is keen to promote the new 36mm Polo Date as an elegant unisex watch.
The case features brushed surfaces and polished ones and is the ultra thin at 8.8mm, thanks to the use of the Piaget Caliber 500PI (3.63mm) automatic winding movement. Coupled with the guilloché dial in PVD midnight blue, it is a rather elegant watch. The watch is delivered with a self-interchangeable blue calf strap and steel folding buckle.
We have photographed and handled the regular (non e-com) version of the new Polo Date 36 in February, and will publish our full review soon.
Release details
Refined elegance for the everyday life, the Piaget Polo collection now welcomes a distinctive vibrant deep blue timepiece with non-set indexes. Style and functionality in one essential piece, for him and her.
Worn by exceptional figures including Ursula Andress, Roger Moore, Andy Warhol and Bjorn Borg, this stand-out-from-the- crowd unisex icon in gold or steel radiates a singular character and an unmistakable aura of distinction that resonates with the Piaget spirit of shared joy, sophistication, and extravaganza. Yves Piaget’s numerous travels helped him sense the momentum of the American market and its appetite for luxury sport watches. Piaget was thus primed to overturn industry conventions by offering a sporty and relaxed approach to round-the- clock watchmaking elegance that took the U.S. by storm.
Evolving through times with fluidity, the new Piaget Polo Date 36mm has been finetuned to encapsulate the Maison’s legacy and today’s mood in its latest unisex design. Best known for its shape-in-shape design with a round bezel and cushion dial that you can notice from afar, which remains at the heart of this new model, this timepiece has an elegant profile that is perfect for this smaller model. Equipped with a self-winding movement that includes hours, minutes, seconds, and a date function, this stainless-steel case shines a sleek contrast to this minimalist blue dial completed with non-set indexes.
When Piaget created the Piaget Polo back in 1979, the Maison wanted to create a sophisticated watch for every day, a watch that would incorporate all the Piaget design codes that are synonymous with style, casual elegance, and freedom, and that hasn’t changed. The spirit remains and the Piaget Polo Date Ecom Exclusive now boasts a self-interchangeable blue calf strap and folding buckle, allowing you to effortlessly switch up your look to suit any occasion. Versatile, yet standing out from the crowd.
And as an Ecom exclusive item, this watch is not available in our bou- tiques, making it a truly unique addition to your collection. Experience the perfect combination of form and function with this new Piaget Polo Date in 36mm.
