Yves Piaget conceived the Polo, launched in 1979, as a luxury sports watch for spectators rather than players, wanting "a watch bracelet rather than a mere wristwatch": case, dial and bracelet integrate into one sculptural run of gold with a fluid, gadrooned surface, blurring the line between watch and jewelry. Early production ran in solid 18k yellow gold on Piaget's own ultra-thin quartz calibre, catalogued under the 7661-prefixed reference family, and the design became a defining symbol of late-20th-century glamour during the Quartz Crisis years. Piaget reaffirmed the design's standing in 2024 with the Polo 79, a mechanical revival faithful to the 1979 original. (Sotheby's)
