Quo Vadis, Piaget Polo?

Sunday, March 3, 2024

Piaget presented the Polo as a re-edition of their 1979ff icon: Polo79. Now, is this a one-hit wonder, like the re-edition of the VC222 or where is it going to -- the once a Trendsetter and most important model of Piaget: The Polo!? We dont know what future has in store and the moves of the Richemont Group are... lets say: sometimes surprising.

But I would NOT be surprised if they present a manual-winding rectangular version of the Polo according to the ref7131 in April "Watches & Wonders" and a couple of variations in the following months: bicolor, whitegold, diamonds, stone-dials, Ladies-versions etc.

I would NOT be surprised when they make it again their center-piece -- Polo for Piaget; like Nautilus for Patek; like RoyalOak for Audemars Piguet; like Manhattan Constellation for Omega;

And I would NOT be surprised if they scrap the current Polo models (steel, Aquanaut-like) or push them out of the model-series and re-name.

Now, Richemont, surprise me! :-)

Addendum 2024-03-31: The Piaget Polo was smelted in numbers -- not these days anymore but in the last +10y and also by very well known institutions / dealers, that may surprise you. I would be surprised if more than 50% of the made examples are still existent. But thats a topic for a later blog-post.
