With the arrival of the Piaget Polo 79 Two‑Tone, Piaget continues a renaissance that began in 2024 with the triumphant return of one of its most emblematic creations.

The Maison’s 150th anniversary marked the rebirth of the original 1979 Piaget Polo—first in radiant yellow gold, then in a refined white‑gold edition in 2025. Now, for 2026, Piaget introduces a new chapter: a two‑tone interpretation that pays homage to one of the earliest and rarest configurations of the Polo while reasserting the brand’s mastery of precious‑metal watchmaking.

A Legacy Reimagined

The Polo 79 Two‑Tone is far more than a simple blend of white and yellow gold. It is a deliberate expression of Piaget’s long‑held philosophy that “time should only be measured in gold.” Since 1957, this belief has shaped the Maison’s identity as the “House of Gold,” and the new Two‑Tone model embodies that spirit with striking clarity.

The watch’s brushed white‑gold case and integrated bracelet are accented by polished yellow‑gold gadroons—those signature horizontal lines that have defined the Polo since its inception. This interplay of textures and tones creates a dynamic visual rhythm, adding depth without compromising the minimalist elegance that has made the Polo an enduring icon. The solid gold dial continues this aesthetic coherence, complemented by brushed yellow‑gold hands that complete the composition with understated refinement.

Ultra‑Thin Mastery at the Heart

Inside the Polo 79 Two‑Tone beats Piaget’s caliber 1200P1, an ultra‑thin micro‑rotor movement measuring just 2.35 mm thick. This mechanical achievement ensures that the watch maintains the sleek, fluid profile that has long distinguished Piaget’s approach to luxury sports elegance.

The Piaget Polo 79 Two‑Tone (Ref. G0A51150) brings together Piaget’s signature precious‑metal craftsmanship with refined technical performance. Its 38 mm case is sculpted in brushed white gold, accented by polished yellow‑gold gadroons that continue seamlessly into the fully integrated bracelet. Beneath the solid gold dial beats the ultra‑thin caliber 1200P1, a micro‑rotor automatic movement measuring just 2.35 mm in thickness—an engineering feat that preserves the watch’s sleek, fluid profile. The movement offers hours and minutes with exceptional smoothness, while the sapphire caseback reveals Piaget’s meticulous finishing. Designed for comfort and versatility, the Polo 79 Two‑Tone combines a slim silhouette, precious‑metal construction, and a heritage‑driven aesthetic that remains unmistakably Piaget. Paired with a 38 mm case and a fully integrated bracelet, the movement contributes to exceptional comfort on the wrist. The watch adapts naturally to a wide range of wrist sizes, making it as suitable for daily wear as it is for formal occasions. It is a testament to Piaget’s ability to evolve with the times while preserving the essence of its design language.

A Return to Origins

While two‑tone watches have surged back into contemporary fashion, Piaget was ahead of the curve—offering a two‑tone Polo from the very beginning in 1979. These early models, crafted exclusively in precious metals, were favored by those who sought a distinctive blend of elegance and everyday versatility. Today, surviving examples are rare, making the 2026 revival all the more meaningful. To the untrained eye, the contrast of white and yellow gold might evoke the look of steel. But Piaget has never compromised on materials. For the Maison, precious metals are not an embellishment—they are the foundation of its horological artistry. The Polo 79 Two‑Tone reaffirms this commitment, offering collectors a piece that bridges past and present with effortless sophistication.
