According to the Piaget Archives, the present timepiece was manufactured in 1987.
Being the first Piaget watch to be officially given a model name, the Piaget Polo has a unique place in the brand's history. The Piaget family initially opposed the concept, arguing that the name of the brand should be sufficient to denote excellence. But the Polo's boldly contemporary and sporty design, which deviated from the Maison's customarily refined style, demanded its own identity. Piaget was supporting the Palm Beach Polo World Cup at the time, so the name was both relevant and symbolic. The Polo, a watch that perfectly captured the glitz and playful sophistication of the time, was thus created in 1979.
The Polo, one of the most iconic luxury timepieces of the 1980s, was manufactured from 1979 to 1990. From the original reference 7661 C 701 with its 34 mm case, Piaget introduced a number of variations over time. The present example, offered in very good overall condition, stands out for its elegant proportions and the addition of two useful complications, a day and a date display, that improve its functionality while maintaining the elegant, sculptural aesthetic.
