The stunning Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-thin powered by the 1255P caliber, showcases one of watchmaking’s most emblematic complications.
The iconic Piaget Polo collection now includes a mechanical perpetual calendar for the first time. Designed to advance the day, date, and year until the year 2100 – months, moon phases and leap-year cycle – perpetual calendar watches naturally appeal to a discerning audience. Piaget has, for many years, built its reputation first in the development and manufacturing of ultra-thin components which has led to the development of ultra-thin movements.
For Piaget’s new 1255P ultra-thin 4 mm caliber, they drew on the ultra-thin 1200P caliber – the in-house 12P movement first launched in 1960 was the thinnest in the world because it drew on the idea of using a micro-rotor (above) – with its extremely slimness and proven reliability, while adding an additional Perpetual Calendar with moon-phase mechanism.
At just 8.65 mm thick overall, the new 42mm Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin brings the universe to the wrist while retaining the joyful highlife vibe flaunted by this fabulously festive and colourful collection.
The Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin features a dark emerald-green dial with a gadroon pattern and three subdials for the date, month (along with leap-year indication) and weekday at 9, 12 and 3 o’clock, along with the moonphase indication at 6 o’clock. True to Piaget tradition, the sub-dials incorporate several finishes, adding visual richness as the light plays across them, along with Super-Luminova® indexes.
Other enhancements relate to a brand-new interchangeable SingleTouch system for the bracelet, as the model comes with a comfortable rubber strap alternative – echoing the gadroon pattern on the dial – that easily yet securely diversifies the wearability options.
The new Piaget Polo continues to epitomise the joyful mix of everyday wearability, sophistication and extravagance that has forged its renown. The quintessential encounter between haute horlogerie and everyday wearability, the Piaget Polo offers a contemporary narrative for the boldest, most versatile identities.
