Description
The Piaget Polo "Grande Diamonds and Ruby" Set, which includes a matching solid 18kt yellow gold Piaget Polo Day-Date watch, diamond and ruby cufflinks, and a dazzling diamond and ruby ring, is one of the most rare and sought-after luxury sets from the 1980s. To find the entire ensemble together is a true gem for collectors and connoisseurs of fine timepieces and jewelry. Each piece in this collection reflects the unmatched craftsmanship and design expertise of Piaget, a brand celebrated for its elegance, sophistication, and technical excellence.

This Piaget Polo Day-Date is a standout from a special collection, meticulously constructed from solid 18kt yellow gold. The watch’s brushed finish on both the case and bracelet preserves the Polo series’ iconic ridged design, while the dial continues the elegant vertical brushed motif, featuring understated hour markers and sleek gold hands that enhance its refined aesthetic.

A major highlight of this watch is the vibrant display of diamonds and rubies. The bracelet, with its two vertical rows of alternating brilliant-cut diamonds and vivid rubies on each side of the case, creates a striking visual contrast. The diamonds' brilliance emphasizes the exclusivity of the watch, while the rubies add a unique touch of opulence and sophistication. The day display at 3 o’clock and the date aperture at 9 o’clock balance the design, combining practicality with timeless style. This Piaget Polo, with its precise engineering and gemstone embellishments, is not just a watch but a true collector’s treasure.

In the 1980s, Piaget reigned supreme in both haute horlogerie and luxury jewelry, and the "Grande Diamonds and Ruby" Set is a prime example of this era’s bold and opulent aesthetic. The flawless pairing of sparkling diamonds and rich rubies set in solid 18kt yellow gold epitomizes the glamour of the period. The Piaget Polo’s classic ridged bracelet seamlessly complements the matching cufflinks and ring, presenting a unified look of power and refinement.

The scarcity of such a perfectly preserved set, combined with the continued prestige of Piaget’s Polo collection, makes the "Grande Diamonds and Ruby" Set one of the most desired acquisitions for collectors of 1980s haute horlogerie and luxury. This set stands as a lasting tribute to Piaget’s artistry and innovation, a true reflection of timeless elegance.

The Piaget name on the dial during this period became synonymous with extravagant design and cultural prestige. In the 1960s and 70s, Piaget crafted watches that symbolized luxury and status, with their lavish style embraced by icons such as Andy Warhol, Roger Moore, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Elvis Presley. These figures represented the pinnacle of success, and Piaget watches mirrored their influence with bold, design-forward creations that captured the spirit of the American Dream.

This particular Piaget, Reference 761 C 701, hails from that transformative period and embodies a legacy of elegance. Its distinguished 32mm 18k yellow gold ridged case, a hallmark of the Polo series, extends seamlessly into the integrated bracelet, creating a luxurious yet cohesive feel that reflects the bold yet refined style of the era. The champagne dial, with its textured finish, complements the ridged case, demonstrating Piaget’s meticulous attention to detail.

The dial’s form and function are beautifully balanced, with a date aperture at 12 o’clock and a day aperture at 6 o’clock creating a pleasing symmetry. The matching ‘dauphine’ hands glide over the dial, reinforcing the refined aesthetic of the piece. However, the true focal point is the stylized Piaget signature towards the top of the dial. This signature is more than a brand logo; it is a statement of prestige, a mark of artistic innovation. It symbolizes Piaget's commitment to the philosophy that luxury, design, and creativity are inseparable, and those who wore Piaget fully embraced this ethos.

Owning a Piaget from this era is about more than timekeeping; it is about owning a piece of cultural history. This Piaget Polo "Grande Diamonds and Ruby" Set is a testament to a time when watches were worn not just for practicality but to make a bold statement of personal style and success. It stands as a symbol of a golden age of luxury, embodying the influence, elegance, and innovation that defined Piaget’s legacy.
