Piaget returned to International Polo Club Palm Beach, for the 7th consecutive year as the title sponsor of the world-class Piaget Gold Cup. This year’s Piaget Gold Cup matches were played on consecutive Sundays – March 9, 16, and 23. On display were hunky, legendary polo players, gallant ponies, and luxury timepieces like the new Piaget Polo Watch  Collection and the Piaget Polo Forty-Five Lady  watches. Piaget Polo watches now feature a new case with a more pronounced curve.

Piaget has been a principal partner of IPC since 2006 and hosted the Piaget Gold Cup tournament for the 2014 season. The Maison has been associated with the sport of kings since the 1970s when Mr. Yves Piaget became a major supporter of polo in Palm Beach. His belief that polo embodied the same attributes as the brand, including precision, performance, and perfection, led to the creation of the first Piaget Polo timepiece in 1979.

Embodying the 3 Ps of the sport of kings and the King of Sports - precision, performance, and perfection - the watchmakers at Piaget produce the Piaget Polo watches.

Inspired by the signature features of its FortyFive sports line, the new Piaget Polo collection is now enriched with four new men’s models in gold and leather, along with a powerfully curved redesigned case. The Piaget Polo FortyFive Lady line welcomes two original new creations.

PIAGET GOLD CUP

The prestigious Piaget Gold Cup is grace and athletic ingenuity at its finest. First played in 1974 at Oakbrook Polo Club in Illinois, the tournament made a series of pit stops before coming home to the breath taking greens of IPC. When the USPA awarded the International Polo Club the Gold Cup in 2007, it sealed IPC’s place in history as the proud host of America’s 26-goal Triple Crown polo tournaments – the USPA C.V. Whitney Cup, the USPA Gold Cup, and the U.S. Open Polo Championship®.

“Elegance and cultivating a spirit of luxury are what Piaget brings to the International Polo Club and our upcoming 2014 season,” said John Wash, president of the International Polo Club (IPC). “Piaget’s reputation for excellence and flawless craftsmanship make them an ideal partner for this prestigious event.”

“As the exclusive watch and jewellery sponsor, and the official timekeeper of the International Polo Club Palm Beach, we are beyond thrilled to be back for the Piaget Gold Cup,” said Larry Boland, president of Piaget USA. “It’s the perfect marriage of brand legacy and the international jet-set lifestyle.”

The Valiente team (Bob Jornayvaz, Santi Torres, Sapo Caset and Adolfo Cambiaso) led Alegria (Julian Mannix, Clemente Zavaleta, Mariano Aguerre and Hilario Ulloa) through most of the game but needed a sixth chukker rally to take and hold the lead in an 11-10 victory in the final of the 2014 USPA Piaget Gold Cup® at the International Polo Club last Sunday afternoon.
