Founded in 1874, the brand pairs an avant-garde approach to design with an uncompromising understanding of fine watchmaking and high luxury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 1979, the Polo is arguably Piaget’s most recognizable creation and one of the purest expressions of the luxury sports watch. Originally conceived with quartz movements and crafted almost exclusively in 18K gold, it emerged as Piaget’s answer to contemporaries such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus, though executed with an unmistakably glamorous identity all its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ref. 15562 C 701 captures the original Polo concept at its most quintessential. Its rounded 18K yellow-gold case flows seamlessly into the integrated bracelet, while the matching gold dial continues the bracelet’s alternating brushed and polished horizontal gadroons directly across the watch’s face. Discreet day and date displays add everyday practicality without disrupting the design’s remarkable continuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemaining unpolished, this example retains the richly defined surfaces and sculptural proportions that make the early Polo so compelling. Worn less like a conventional wristwatch and more like a custom-crafted piece of jewelry, it is a distinctly Piaget expression of effortless 1980s opulence. Sourced directly from the family of its original owner, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire an early Polo with a remarkably limited ownership history, something that can seldom be said of a model whose examples have typically traded hands many times over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003eStock #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"2%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003ePGNP15562C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePiaget\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolo 'Quartz Day-Date'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15562 C 701\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40XXXX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMen's\/ Unisex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillimeters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePiaget Integrated 18K Yellow Gold Bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCASE \u0026amp; BRACELET\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exceptional 18K yellow gold case is remarkably well preserved and believed to remain unpolished, retaining the Polo’s original sculptural profile, crisp factory finishes, and sharply defined bevels throughout. The gold has developed a rich, rosy patina, further evidence of its untouched condition, and exhibits only gentle signs of wear, with no notable scratches or dings. The original, slightly domed sapphire crystal remains in excellent condition, and the case retains its original, unsigned crown. The caseback is equally well preserved, with sharp factory engravings and finishing. The original integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet shows no measurable stretch and retains 19 links, fitting wrists up to approximately 6.75 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDIAL \u0026amp; HANDS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original gold dial is in perfectly preserved vintage condition, showing no damage or notable age.
