Piaget introduced this new sports ultra-thin timepiece in 2022 – the “Polo Skeleton.” Its skeletonized movement features, for the first time, a dark green coating, complementing the metallic finish of the stainless steel case. The inspiration comes from the forest scenery of “La Côte-aux-Fées,” the location of Piaget’s watchmaking workshops.

The new model continues the Polo collection’s signature cushion-shaped case with a modern 42mm diameter and an impressive thickness of just 6.5mm, ensuring a very comfortable fit. The stainless steel case combines both mirror polishing and satin-brushing, creating a striking contrast in finishes. The bezel maintains the unique design of a round exterior and square interior, echoing the case shape.

The mechanically aesthetic skeletonized movement is fully displayed on the dial side. The movement’s bridges, with their green coating, exhibit subtle light reflections. You can directly observe:

  • The winding state of the barrel at 12 o’clock.

  • The balance wheel and escapement at 6 o’clock.

  • The operation of the complete gear train.
    The skeletonized hands further maximize visual transparency. Twelve wedge-shaped hour markers are set on the dial’s outer flange, keeping the focus on the center.

Powering the watch is the Calibre 1200 S1 self-winding movement. It operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a 44-hour power reserve. This movement utilizes a technically mature off-center micro-rotor, contributing to its slim profile of just 2.4mm. Finishing details like brushing, sandblasting, polishing, and bevelling are meticulously executed.

It comes with a stainless steel bracelet and includes an additional dark green alligator leather strap. The official price is €30,000.
