The Piaget Polo has always been in pursuit of combining contradictions: excellence and refinement, everyday wearability and audacity – a canvas where mastery liberates creativity. In a perpetual quest for elegance, the charismatic story of the Piaget Polo continues with two new perpetual calendars featuring new magnetic obsidian dials.

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 recognized 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.
PERPETUAL TIMES
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 ART OF COLOUR
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 harbors 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 epitomizes the intentions of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Obsidian – a companion that will always fit in, yet will always stand out.
About Piaget
Piaget epitomizes daring creativity – a quality that has continued to permeate through the Maison since its beginnings in 1874. From his first workshop in La Côte-aux-Fées, Georges-Edouard Piaget devoted himself to crafting high-precision movements in a feat that formed the very foundations of our pioneering name. In the late 1950s, Piaget unveiled the ultra-thin movements that would later become the Maison’s trademark and the cornerstone of the Altiplano collection. As a true innovator of the watch and jewellery world, Piaget strongly believed in creativity and artistic values. It is within the walls of our “ Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire ” where master artisans continue to harness rare skills that have been preserved and perfected from generation to generation, transforming gold, stones and precious gems into dazzling works of art. Through its pursuit of masterful craftsmanship, the Maison has created emblems of daring excellence channeled into its collections including Altiplano, Piaget Polo, Limelight Gala, Possession, Piaget Sunlight, Piaget Rose and Extremely Piaget.
