The Piaget Polo was never intended to merely serve as a timekeeper. From its inception in 1979, this timepiece redefined the dimension of a sports watch, fostering a unique visual language in which the passage of time is illustrated through a blend of elegance and extravagance.
Nor was it designed with the explicit goal of becoming an iconic reference in watchmaking either – that distinction was earned only through its diffusion onto the wrists of those who recognised its timeless appeal. Its intention was simply thus: a playground of imagination where mastery and creativity collide.
This arc of audacity has guided the Maison in bolstering the tale of the Piaget Polo throughout the decades. Today, the Piaget Polo writes a new chapter, venturing further afield in both technical and aesthetic dexterity with the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Obsidian. The Maison introduces two novel references, featuring one of watchmaking’s most emblematic complications in Obsidian Green and Obsidian Blue.
A precious duet of modernity, the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Obsidian continues to build on the lineage of a progressive collection that, through the resoluteness of the Maison’s artisans, has taken bold strides in crafting complications through a lens of pioneering style and curiosity. It follows the success of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Obsidian—a limited edition from 2023 that sold out almost immediately.
Alongside Piaget’s decorated efforts as proprietors of the art of complications, and with the recent news of the Piaget Polo Tourbillon Moonphase in 2025, it marks a significant chapter in the ongoing narrative of Piaget’s legitimacy in both watchmaking and gem-setting, while adding flair to create a new dialogue with ornamental stones. These two iterations affirm the Maison’s vision, to bring the extraordinary to life.
This ethos continues today, with the launch of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Obsidian Green and Obsidian Blue, reimagining flamboyance and everyday wearability. Conceived to elevate the everyday, each continues the story of shape-in-shape geometry into a unique combination. Where cushioned angles meet the soft curves of a round bezel, it animates the essence of this unique stone, which bequeaths a natural iridescence that occurs when drops of mineral-rich sulfide liquid are trapped in rock as it solidifies. The result? No two stones, and thus, no two watches are the same.
The extension of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar collection brings diversity to the wrist in two forms. Obsidian Blue displays a more understated approach, framing the ornamental stone – one that nods to the Maison’s primary hue of blue – through the clarity of an ultra-thin case that reveals the dialogue of polished and satin-brushed finishes.
Where one is bold in its subtlety, paired with a matching blue rubber strap, the Obsidian Emerald is flamboyant in its animation of bejeweled time. In an exclusive numbered assembly of 18 pieces, the Obsidian Green reveals an arc of 56 brilliant-cut emeralds along the bezel, which authoritatively frames the intricate workings of the Perpetual Calendar.
While the variations that mark these two creations transition from Obsidian Blue to Obsidian Green, the ingenuity in the visual codes remains the same: an interplay of precious stone in perfect harmony with the generous counters that reveal the day, date, and month. At 6 o’clock, a discreet Moon window cascades in motion, an elegant reminder of this traditional measurement, while in accordance with the 3 calendar counters, it displays an always-vertical moon.
Each harbours a self-winding 1255P movement, a feat of determination from the Maison, respected for its technical innovation in creating deceptively thin movements since the 1950s. Through the parameters of a 42mm Ultra-Thin case, these new Piaget Polo demonstrate the techniques of savoir-faire spirit, not only through its tribute to these delicate stone dials, renowned for their fragility, but by crafting layers of intricacy within an ultra-thin setting. The marginal canvas is filled with effortless distinction: a reputation for crafting memorable shapes through watchmaking expertise. Together, this harmony epitomises the intentions of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Obsidian – a companion that will always fit in, yet will always stand out.
