Piaget continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking with the introduction of the Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase . This latest addition to the Polo collection combines intricate Piaget complications with an ultra-thin and discreet watch profile.
Housed in a 44mm titanium case with a cushion shape, the Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase has an ultra-thin construction that ensures comfort. Polished surfaces create a dynamic contrast, while blue accents on the sides of the case add a touch of vibrancy. Water resistance to 100 meters makes it a durable yet elegant choice.
The dial design reflects Piaget’s precision in design. At six o’clock, there is an impressive moon phase display with four relief representations of the Moon, requiring only a one-day adjustment every 122 years. Meanwhile, the floating tourbillon, with its distinctive stylized “P” on the cage, is surrounded by a blue secondary ring.
At the heart of this watch is Piaget's in-house caliber 642P, an ultra-thin hand-wound movement measuring just 4 mm in height. Originally developed as the caliber 600P, this barrel-shaped movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and provides a power reserve of 40 hours.
Although the watch has a full caseback, a transparent sapphire caseback would provide additional enjoyment, allowing a view of the complex mechanism.
In conclusion, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase (Ref. G0A49080) comes in a 44 mm cushion-shaped titanium case, covered with sapphire crystal and water resistant to 100 meters. It is powered by the hand-wound caliber 642P with hour and minute functions, floating tourbillon and moon phase indication. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and offers a power reserve of 40 hours. The watch comes with a blue rubber strap with a quick release and a folding clasp. It is not a limited edition, and is available at Piaget boutiques and authorized retailers for a price of USD 99,000.
