The 1970s saw the emerging trend of slim and elegant bracelet watches, with the release of many such legendary designs. In an effort to follow this growing trend while maintaining a high degree of unicity, Piaget released the innaugural Polo in 1979 following Yves G. Piaget's impulse. The watch proved to be a commercial success, filling its luxury sports watch role with panache.
The present version dates from 1985 and is a true illustration of the design elements which make this watch unique. The integrated bracelet carries on the pattern on the dial, with a luxurious alternation between brushed and polished finishes. The caliber 8P was revealed at the 1980 Polo Cup in Palm Beach, with the introduction of the latest ultra-slim quartz timepiece by Ursula Andress herself.
