If only a few years ago, at the beginning of the advance of the first green quadrants, it was still difficult to know whether it would be just a passing phenomenon or not, today we can say that green is an established trend.
Proof of this is also the increasing introduction of green variants of some of the most famous and long-lived models in watchmaking history. Patek has done it, Girard-Perregaux and Audemars Piguet have done it, but also Piaget, which offers two new green versions of the Polo, which in 1979 was the brand's incarnation of the luxury sports watch with integrated bracelet.
The Polo Skeleton is an ultra-flat, with a case that is thinner than the 30%'s other versions (6.5 mm) and with an evolution of the skeleton self-winding movement powered by a micro-rotor: the Piaget manufacture calibre 1200S1.
The new dial, revealing green gears and bridges, adds more boldness and personality to this steel model. The integrated bracelet is interchangeable. It can be effortlessly chosen and exchanged for the green leather strap included. In this case, water resistance is up to 30 metres. The Polo Skeleton is a boutique exclusive.
With the Polo Date, Piaget had already introduced two green limited editions in steel. The new edition, however, is not a limited series and is made with a 42 mm 18-carat rose gold case, still water-resistant to 100 metres.
The coussin dial features the characteristic horizontal fluted pattern and the hour markers pick up the colour of the gold of the case. The movement is the automatic calibre 1110P with a power reserve of about 40 hours.
PricesPolo Date 31,100 euro; Polo Skeleton 32,200 euro.
