Piaget Polo 861C701 'Ladies' Yellow Gold Quartz

The Piaget Polo is among the most architecturally distinctive integrated bracelet watches produced during the luxury sport watch era — a design introduced in 1979 that arrived three years after the Royal Oak and Santos had established the integrated metal bracelet as the defining format of the decade, and which distinguished itself through a deeply personal design vocabulary: horizontal fluting running continuously across both the oval case and the bracelet, creating a single ribbed surface that flows from clasp to clasp without interruption. Where Genta's contemporaneous designs emphasised geometric angularity, the Polo pursued organic continuity — the case disappearing into the bracelet so completely that the watch reads as a single sculptural object rather than a case with a strap attached. The ladies' 23mm configuration in all-yellow gold is the Polo at its most jewelry-concentrated, the small oval case barely perceptible within the continuous gold ribbon of the bracelet.

The 23mm yellow gold oval case carries the characteristic horizontal fluting running across the case middle, integrating seamlessly with the wider ribbed bracelet links above and below. The gold dial presents dot hour markers at each hour position and gold baton hands, the minimalist layout preserving the dial's visual continuity with the surrounding gold surfaces. The integrated yellow gold bracelet tapers from the case with uniformly fluted rectangular links. A Swiss quartz movement powers the watch.
