An icon of style and sport, the polo watch was first introduced in 1979. Roughly five years later Piaget released the Polo Ref. 861 C 705, a quartz movement cased in 18k gold and diamond-set gadroons. From all the polos created during this t.mes , only 10% were made with white gold, and even fewer that were diamond-set. The Ref. 861 C 705 is the perfect watch for those looking to collects an iconic, yet rare piece.
Instantly recognizable, the pattern of lines from the links of the bracelet continue throughout the dial and bezel, creating a modern and uniform look.
The watch sports a monochromatic silver-color with the brushed white gold and diamond-set gadroons. The simplicity of one color, however, is elevated by the contrast in the light refraction of the diamonds and the light reflection of the metal. This creates an eye-catching piece while maintaining the polo’s versatility to be worn in multiple settings.
