Piaget presents it as a faithful return to that design, with subtle contemporary updates: a fluid silhouette in which the case and bracelet read as one continuous form.
What is the Piaget Polo 79?
The Polo 79 is Piaget’s contemporary revival of the Polo, the watch the Maison introduced in 1979. The “79” refers to that launch year. Piaget says the original was the first watch model in its history to receive an official name, and connects “Polo” with the sport, jet-set culture and glamour of the period. That is the brand’s account of the model’s origins and identity.
Piaget describes the modern watch as a return to the original’s purest design expression, updated subtly rather than reimagined. The name and central design idea point back to 1979, while the current collection also includes variations in metal and dial.
How does the Polo 79 revisit the original?
Its defining feature is the integrated case-and-bracelet profile. Piaget emphasizes that the bracelet is not simply attached to a conventional watch case: the surfaces flow together to create a continuous gold silhouette. The brand puts it this way: “not a bracelet featuring a watch, but a watch featuring a bracelet.”

Alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces give the gold contrasting textures. The effect depends on the interplay between the finish and the linked form, rather than on a separate decorative element being added to the bracelet.
Piaget characterizes the Polo 79 as a full-gold watch. That description should not be taken to mean every watch in the broader Polo 79 line has the same metal or dial: the brand also presents white-gold and yellow-gold treatments, as well as a version with a sodalite dial. The sodalite is a variation, not a feature of every reference.

What distinguishes it from other current Polo 79 versions?
The Polo 79 is a line, not just one undifferentiated configuration. Metal and dial are useful points of distinction, and a particular watch should be identified by its reference rather than described using features that belong only to another version.
| Design detail | What Piaget describes |
|---|---|
| Metal treatments | Yellow gold and white gold are represented in the Polo 79 line. |
| Dial variation | A sodalite-dial version is offered; this does not establish that all Polo 79 watches use sodalite. |
| Shared design idea | An integrated, fluid case-and-bracelet silhouette with contrasting satin-brushed and polished finishes. |
Exact dimensions, movement details, water resistance and other technical specifications depend on the particular reference. They are not established here, so consult the specification for the exact model before comparing fit or mechanics.
