It can be admired live at the next edition of Watches and Wonders, scheduled to take place in Geneva from 27 March to 2 April. For now, suffice it to say that the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar houses an entirely new movement.
It is the 4 mm ultra-thin 1255P calibre, visible through the sapphire crystal on the case back and inspired by the 1200P calibre to which a perpetual calendar with moon phase mechanism has been added.
The overall thickness achieved together with the 42 mm case, made of steel, is only 8.65 mm.
The watch features a dark emerald green dial with the gadroon motif that has adorned Piaget Polo timepieces on the case since 1979. There are three counters for the date, month (with leap year indication) and day of the week at 9, 12 and 3 o'clock, as well as a moon phase display at 6 o'clock. In keeping with Piaget tradition, the counters feature different finishes that enhance the play of light, while SuperLuminova is applied to the hour markers. A further refinement concerns the interchangeable SingleTouch system for the bracelet, which allows it to be replaced with a comfortable rubber strap that echoes the gadroon motif of the dial. The price of the Polo Perpetual Calendar is 61,000 euros.
