1980s Piaget Polo 7131 C 701 18K Yellow Gold Gadron Dial Quartz 25 mm

Dial: Gold Gadron. Reference: 7131 C 701. Launched in 1979, the Piaget Polo was a direct and characteristically extravagant answer to the steel luxury sports watches of the era. Instead of competing on utility, Piaget leaned into its identity as a master jeweler, creating a watch in solid gold where the case and bracelet flow into one another without interruption. Launched in 1979, the Piaget Polo was a direct and characteristically extravagant answer to the steel luxury sports watches of the era. Instead of competing on utility, Piaget leaned into its identity as a master jeweler, creating a watch in solid gold where the case and bracelet flow into one another without interruption. The continuous gadroon finishing, running from the dial through the case and down the bracelet, defined the aesthetic. It was a watch named for the sport of kings, and it perfectly captured the unapologetic luxury of its time. A Seamless Statement In Gold The defining feature of the Polo is its fully integrated design. The engineering required to make the bracelet and case feel like a single, sculpted piece is remarkable. This example, crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, is the purest expression of that original design vision. The square case offers a distinct profile from its octagonal rivals, allowing it to function as both a sports watch and a piece of high jewelry. It is a confident design that remains a benchmark for integrated bracelets. Well Preserved Original Finishing This example is in very good condition. The 18k yellow gold bracelet is the centerpiece and retains its original finish with minimal signs of wear, a crucial detail for a vintage Polo. The dial and crystal are both in great shape. The watch has a substantial and satisfying weight on the wrist, a direct result of its solid gold construction. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear. Why It Still Works For collectors who appreciate the design ambition of the late 1970s and 1980s, the Polo is essential. This is a watch that makes no apologies for what it is: a heavy, beautiful, and impeccably constructed gold bracelet that also happens to tell time. It works today as a powerful statement piece that feels both vintage and timeless.
