Piaget Polo Day Date 18k

For most of its existence, Piaget has operated quietly behind the proverbial horological curtain, producing some of the most impressively thin mechanical movements in Switzerland and supplying them to numerous other maisons. But when the Piaget name was displayed on the dial, the brand utilized a distinguishable lavish style that became synonymous with a period of design-forward luxurious creations, representative of the American Dream in the 1960s and 70s, and embodied by those wore them –– Andy Warhol, Roger Moore, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elvis Presley, and many more. This particular Piaget, a Reference 15562 C 701, hails from that exact era! This beauty of this piece starts with its case — a 32mm 18k yellow gold ridged head mated to an integrated matching ridged yellow gold bracelet.  Its champagne dial continues the textured theme and features a date aperture at 12 o’clock, a day aperture at 6 o’clock, a matching ‘dauphine’ handset and the stylized Piaget signature is positioned at its center. Powered by a handy quartz movement, this Piaget is a statement piece for sure!
