Piaget Polo 79: New Release Gold Watch

Key Points from the Discussion

• The Piaget Polo 79 has a substantial weight due to its full-gold construction and presents a unisex aesthetic, which some collectors might find leans slightly feminine on the wrist.
• Collectors appreciate the watch's design choices, specifically the absence of a date complication, its exceptionally flat profile (noted as flatter than the VC 222 or AP Jumbo), and its ideal 38mm case size.
• While acknowledging the high price point, the watch's value is often justified by its significant gold content, weighing approximately 200 grams.
• Some members view the Polo 79 as another re-issue in a trend where many brands' designers and marketing teams are perceived as taking an 'easy job' by relying on tributes rather than novel designs.
