Itchy indeed...
I become when I saw the picture. I'm lucky to be given a Polo and for years I'm looking at it,
marvelling at the lines on the case integrated with the lines on the dial...beautiful and though seems
simple, the look of Polo has always been one of my favourite.
When I saw your vertical (lines) Polo picture.... I'm a bit shocked. I never search further or look into
"everything" Polo.
It is beautiful in its simplicity! Sigh... You still have no further info?
Come on, give me some.....(Please) 
Cheers,Linda
Historical research into Piaget Polo: The Missing One
Mystery Piaget Polo - vertical lines on leather strap Dear Forumners, In the process of gathering material for a historical look at Piaget Polo watches, I found this photo of a "vintage" piece....probably from circa 1980. The question is: Does anybody act...
Visually striking and aesthetically pleasing design that cleverly blends . . .
. . . the case/bezel - dial interface; I'll wager that the apparent angle of the vertical bars alters as the angle at which the watch is viewed changes, too. The phenomena of hidden or altered images is personally fascinating, and I don't think I've ever ...
Like MB&F #3.......
Art, There really is nothing new in design. Some people got excited that you can get the Max Buser & Friends Horological Machine #3 (what a mouthful) in vertical or horizontal case orientation. Looks like Piaget tried it in 1980 and probably another older...

Great photos and thanks for the detailed information...
I remember seeing the Polo Piaget on a strap with vertical stripes back in the 1980s. I even saved some old Piaget ads that had pix of the Polos when they were new (not sure I have them any more). What a cool watch! In addition, since all of the advertizi...
Great post!
Thanks for taking all those pictures of your beautiful watch. It's a classy piece that's perfect for wearing with a suit or casually. What a great example of a Piaget! Hope to read more from you! Cheers, Daos
Piaget Service
Nice Polo! I've enjoyed my Piaget as well.... but it has the pesky 8P2 movement. I'm having trouble with it now in getting the hours to set properly. Question - what did Piaget charge you for the service? Does anyone out there have an independent service ...
Also worn by Steve Martin
Hey, I know this post is a bit late, but I just came across this forum recently. Thought you might be interested in knowing that this Piaget was also worn by Steve Martin's character, Neil Page, in the 1987 movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Here's a l...

Pictures of my Piaget Polo AUTOMATIC (NOT QUARTZ!)
hello everybody! I was browsing the web trying to find information on my Piaget watch and found your interesting blog! I wanted to share with you the info and the pictures of my watch, which is however mechanical and not quartz! Can anybody share any ligh...
Wow thats a beauty!
I love the original Piaget Polo design, both on a bracelet or a strap. Very cool that yours is an automatic and nice to see you still have the original items that came with the watch, like box, case, papers, wallet etc. What a great looking watch. I hope ...

Quartz Piaget Polo
luca, Thank you for the find. Does it still work after 40 years? Regards, MTF
That is a very comprehensive design...
just amazing how well all the elements are in balance with each other and how well they are integrated. Just look at the two outer lines, they are extended beyond the case through lugs and further to the sticking of the strap. The entire motif is replicat...
....and its all been done before at Piaget
Luckily we have some sort of archive on-line that such a watch exists. From the 1980s era, when quartz movement was King, the mechanical Polo Vertical (not official nickname) should not exist.......but it does! I agree with you that the design is not rand...
I have this watch and wear it often
I received this watch from my father as a gift in the early 1980's or late 1970's . The original movement was one which automatically advanced or backed off 1 hour if the crown was pulled out halfway and then rotated forward or backward for a second. In a...
The Mists of Time
davidsands, Lucky you to have this old design. Alas, in those days, as a small family firm with small batches of production of many variations (usually dials), not a lot of emphasis was placed on recording model numbers or names. Watches were simple descr...
Similar 1987 polo
Hi all - I’ve just been handed a similar watch. Brown strap however and mint condition. Would anyone be so kind as to offer some comments on the edition? www.watchprosite.com
