In January 2026, Piaget did something that only the greatest can do. The brand reached into its own history and retold it in the language of contemporary luxury. The Polo 79 Two-Tone is not just another variation of the iconic model. On the contrary, this gesture is a deliberate nod to the golden era of watch design. That’s why it has been executed with the finesse and technical mastery typical of Piaget.
Piaget Polo 79 Two-Tone. Two-tone gold as a style statement
The new Polo 79 Two-Tone combines 18-carat white gold with polished yellow gold accents, creating a contrast that immediately catches the eye. The distinctive gadroons—horizontal lines running across the case and bracelet—are now a hallmark of the Polo collection. In this edition, however, they gain exceptional depth.
The case with a diameter of 38 mm and an impressive slimness of 7.45 mm perfectly matches the current tastes of connoisseurs. That’s because it is elegant, well-balanced, and extremely comfortable to wear. The integrated bracelet, substantial yet impeccably finished (brushed white gold and polished yellow accents), emphasizes the watch’s jewelry-like character. The whole piece weighs about 200 grams—and what you feel is quality, not heaviness.
Dial: a subtle play of light and detail
Piaget has remained true to the “tone on tone” concept, using a dial made of white and yellow gold. The dotted minute track adds a slightly sporty touch, while the classic yellow gold dauphine hands beautifully reflect the light.
Sapphire crystal on both sides of the case and water resistance up to 50 meters clearly indicate that this is a luxury sports watch. One that fits just as well under a shirt cuff as it does for less formal occasions.
Caliber 1200P1 – the heart of an ultra-thin legend
The real magic, however, lies within. The in-house caliber 1200P1 is the quintessence of Piaget’s philosophy. This automatic movement with a micro-rotor is just 2.35 mm thick, yet it offers a 44-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 3 Hz.
Through the transparent case back, you can admire its architecture and finishing – discreet, elegant, without excessive display. This is watchmaking for those who know what they are looking at.
Piaget Polo 79 Two-Tone: a logical step in 2026
After the yellow gold version presented in 2024 and the white gold edition from 2025, the two-tone Polo 79 seems like a natural addition to the collection. Importantly, this is not a numerically limited edition, but rather a production-limited one—which in practice means exclusivity without artificially restricting supply.
The price of around 96,000 euros clearly positions this model in the highest luxury segment. The watch is available directly from Piaget, which only enhances its prestigious character.
A tribute to 1979, a look into the future
The original Piaget Polo from 1979 was a symbol of disco-era luxury – golden, bold, uncompromising. The new Polo 79 Two-Tone preserves that spirit but filters it through a contemporary sensibility: greater subtlety, perfect proportions, and technological excellence.
This is an option for those who don’t need to shout about their status. For those who value history, design, and watchmaking at the highest level. And who can also appreciate luxury that speaks in a whisper, not a shout.
