The Piaget Polo, introduced in 1979, marked a significant milestone in Piaget's history as its designed was an instant cassic. Designed to embody both luxury and sportiness, the Polo is characterized by distinctive godroons. This design quickly gained popularity, solidifying Piaget's reputation for crafting timepieces that blend elegance with functionality.
Designed under the direction of Yves G. Piaget, the Polo reflected a bold shift in aesthetic. Unlike traditional Piaget dress watches, which were known for ultra thin profiles and jewel-like refinement, the Polo combined these traits with a sculptural, integrated design that blended bracelet and case into a seamless whole, featuring alternating polished and brushed godroons. The model became an immediate success, and quickly became a symbol of 1980s prestige.
The reference 8273 is part of the second generation of Polo watches, Piaget maintained the visual codes of the original but incorporated a more compact and versatile case, well-suited to both men and women seeking a refined but contemporary look.
Today, these early Polo models are increasingly appreciated for their place in the evolution of the luxury sports watch category and for the timeless clarity of their design. This Piaget Polo is complete with its original guarantee which dates back to December 1986 and was originally sold in Italy. The watch has an 18-karat gold case measuring 28mm in diameter, excluding the crown. The case's ultra-thin profile reflects Piaget's expertise in creating slender timepieces. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, in an excellent condition.
The original gold dial is in an excellent condition, it has only two small scratches near the 12 o`clock position, and it showcases the Polo's signature aesthetic. The dial's has no significant signs of patina or discoloration. Powering this timepiece is Piaget's Caliber 8P, an ultra-thin quartz movement introduced in 1980. At just 1.95mm in height, the 8P is renowned for its precision and contributed to the Polo's sleek design. The movement is running well on a new battery.
