The time has come to wear the universe on your wrist. This is an ultra thin universe embodied by the Automatic Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin timepiece that the house has just brought out.  Its dark green emerald colored 42mm dial with its decorative edging gadroon pattern and with calendar indications in three sub-counters is enhanced by a fourth counter, housing the moon phase indicator. This is a watch of elegance and precise craftsmanship, of an incredible prowess in mechanics and movement. For the new timepiece has been brought out in the house’s trailblazing ultra-thin mode.  

Powered by the 1255P caliber, this new model showcases one of watchmaking’s most complicated complications. The iconic Piaget Polo watch has been worn by world renowned people across all boards from Ursula Andress to Andy Warhol and Bjorn Borg. And today the Piaget Polo collection is welcoming for the very first time a mechanical perpetual calendar, an emblematic complication. Designed to advance the day, date and year until the year 2100 — in months, moon phases and leap-year cycle —the watch brings together the finest in haute horlogerie know how. 

When Piaget launched its in-house 12P movement in 1960 it was the thinest in the world because it drew on the idea of using a micro-rotor to ensure its ultra-thinness. Fifty years later this caliber in turn gave rise to the new generation 1200P caliber. For Piaget’s new ultra thin 4mm caliber the Manufacture drew on the ultra-thin 1200P caliber while adding an additional Perpetual Calendar with a moon-phase mechanism. The stainless steel case is outfitted with a bracelet also in stainless steel but which can be interchanged with a green rubber strap. The timepiece has a power reserve of 42 hours. ©Trish Valicenti for The Gourmet Gazette. https://www.piaget.com/ww-e
