Piaget (Richemont Group). A 'Haute Horlogerie' and 'Haute Joaillerie' tier brand known for movement miniaturization and jewelry-grade finishing.

Piaget In-house Quartz Movement (likely Caliber 15P or 690P). Piaget is renowned for ultra-thin movements; while they make mechanical versions, this two-hand model typically houses an ultra-slim high-precision quartz caliber.

Case diameter: 34-38mm; Thickness: 7-9mm; Lug-to-lug: 42-45mm; Lug width: 18-20mm. This model wears flat and sleek against the wrist.
Description
This Piaget Polo represents a modern, understated evolution of the classic 1970s Polo. Moving away from the traditional horizontal gadroons of the original, this model offers a clean, legible aesthetic with a vibrant green dial that captures the 'green trend' in luxury horology early on. Its ultra-slim profile allows it to disappear under a shirt cuff while retaining the sporty presence of a tonneau-inspired case.
Key Features
Tonneau-shaped case transition, ultra-thin profile, vibrant sunburst green dial, and the iconic Piaget serif logo.
Dial Description
Sunray-brushed forest green dial with applied silver-tone baton indices. Minimalist 'Swiss Made' branding at 6 o'clock. Dauphine/Sword style hands for hours and minutes. Absence of a seconds hand emphasizes the elegant 'ultra-thin' ethos.
Case Material
Polished Stainless Steel (or potentially Grade 5 Titanium for this specific line). The finish appears high-polish on the bezel and lugs with a distinctive integrated-style geometry.
Crystal Type
Flat, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating.
Bezel Details
Fixed smooth rounded bezel in polished steel, integrated into the tonneau-shaped mid-case architecture.
Crown & Pushers
Push-pull crown, small and fluted for a low profile, featuring the Piaget 'P' logo or generic fluting appropriate for the ultra-thin design.
Bracelet or Strap
Green calfskin or alligator leather strap with tone-on-tone or slightly lighter green contrast stitching. Likely paired with a stainless steel tang buckle or deployant clasp.
Caseback Details
Solid, screw-down caseback for water resistance security, featuring Piaget coat of arms, brand hallmarks, and reference numbers.
Movement Type
Piaget In-house Quartz Movement (likely Caliber 15P or 690P). Piaget is renowned for ultra-thin movements; while they make mechanical versions, this two-hand model typically houses an ultra-slim high-precision quartz caliber.
Water Resistance
30 Meters / 3 ATM. Suitable for light splashes and rain; not intended for swimming or diving.
Origin & Provenance
Swiss Made. Manufactured in La Côte-aux-Fées (movements) and Plan-les-Ouates (cases/assembly), Switzerland.
Age Estimate
Circa 2010–2015 based on the dial logo font and the Polo FortyFive design language.
Cultural Significance
Piaget watches defined 1980s luxury. This modern iteration bridges the gap between the brand's jewelry heritage and contemporary daily-wear expectations, maintaining the 'watch-as-jewelry' philosophy through perfect finishing.
Condition Notes
Very Good/Excellent. The polished case shows minimal hairline scratches; the dial is pristine with no visible oxidation. Strap appears to be a high-quality aftermarket or lightly used OEM replacement. Grade: Excellent (90-94%).
Value Estimate
$4,000 - $7,500 USD depending on the specific metal (Steel vs White Gold) and presence of original papers. Piaget holds value well in its heritage 'Polo' and 'Altiplano' lines.
Care & Maintenance
For quartz movements, battery changes every 3-5 years. Avoid magnetic fields which can stall quartz motors. 5-year service interval for gasket inspection. Keep leather away from water.
