Since its debut in 1979, the Piaget Polo series has become an iconic emblem of sporty chic and exquisite craftsmanship. In recent years, this collection has been breaking boundaries in horological technology, from the skeletonized movements unveiled in 2021 to the ultra-thin perpetual calendars launched in 2023. Now, they’ve upped the game with the latest marvel: the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moon Phase Watch. This stunner combines a flying tourbillon with an astronomical moon phase display, once again underscoring the brand’s pinnacle achievements in the realm of complex functionalities.
This wristwatch rocks a striking 44mm titanium case that is not only skinny, measuring in at just 9.8mm thick but also champions Piaget’s passion for ultra-sleek designs. Titanium is not just tough and light, but after getting the PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment, it assures durability like no other. Adding a pop of color, the bezel and crown are decked out in blue accents, nodding to the iconic three-dimensional striped dial. This design draws its inspiration from the classic visual elements of the Piaget Polo series dating back to 1979, encapsulating the brand’s distinct sense of aesthetics with a fresh twist.
The core power comes from the brand new 642P manual-winding movement, evolving from the ultra-sleek design of the previously thinnest 600P tourbillon movement, with a mere 4mm thickness. It brilliantly integrates a moon phase display with only an additional 0.5mm thickness. The flying tourbillon, situated at the 12 o’clock spot, features an exquisitely refined P-shaped frame which screams elegance. Meanwhile, the astronomical moon phase display perches at the 6 o’clock position, flaunting astronomical accuracy that accumulates only a single day of error every 122 years. Located at the 9 o’clock is the regulator, ensuring the moon phase can be effortlessly calibrated, showcasing the brand’s remarkable watchmaking prowess.
Beyond its razor-thin design and precise mechanics, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moon Phase Watch also offers supreme comfort when worn. Its unique look is created by the combination of a cushion-shaped dial and a circular case, while the transparent sapphire crystal case back allows wearers to admire the beauty of its movement. When this timepiece is on the wrist, wearers can truly feel the elegance and craftsmanship it brings. It strikes a perfect balance between lightweight comfort and stellar performance, embodying understated luxury in the art of watchmaking.
