Piaget

Very intesting to see bi-metal watches making a come back...

 

it will be interesting to see if it catches on as a trend.  Patek stopped making their gold and steel Nautilus years ago.  AP stopped making gold and steel Royal Oaks years ago (while they have worked with some exotic and odd combinations of materials they are not the same as gold and steel or gold and Ti).  It seemed for years only companies such as Rolex, Cartier, Omega and a few others continued to offer steel and gold watches, but I haven't seen a truly new design from a high end watch company using gold and another metal in quite some time. 

I find the use of rose gold with titanium very pleasing to the eye.  It not only adds some color, but I think it dresses the deisgn up, and adds some versatility to a metal that I generally think of as only used for sports watches worn solely with casual clothes. 

Kudos to Piaget for combining two beautiful metals. 

Best regards,

Dino

The two models immediately following are the first ever offering from Piaget of watches in a combination of rose gold and titanium. Ref. G0A36001. Titanium and rose gold Piaget Polo FortyFive Perpetual Calendar -- 45mm titanium case, 18K pink gold gadroon...  

The Two metals Polo are beautiful.

They have to be seen "in the metal" to be appreciated. The complications are well integrated and the dials, even if they are busy, have balanced lay-outs. Fx...  

Thanks for the live shots, Fr.Xavier!

I like the bi-colored Piaget Polos. They are sporty, but have an extra touch of elegance due to the rose gold gadroons. In the case of these two watches, I prefer the perpetual. It does have a busy dial, but the layout is quite nice IMO. Cheers, Daos

Me too!

The rose gold adds an extra touch of elegance to an otherwise sporty watch. Cheers, Daos

Two-tone is back in fashion

It may soften the blow. Piaget used to state that their propositions will always be in precious metal. This was after they stopped the stainless steel Upstream models. Then, they launched the titanium Polo FortyFive range, that somehow we had to accept as...

...the perpetual calendar Piaget Polo, as well. There is a lot of information being presented, but it's very charming in its display. The gray and rose gold tones are highly complimentary IMO. Very nice offerings all around from Piaget, although the women...

...we'll see more and more of these bi-metal pieces from brands across varying segments of the industry. Combining two metals, like titanium and rose gold, offers the wearer greater versatility in matching the watch to clothing/occasions. What really intr...

I briefly owned a gold and steel Submariner. But it seemed every manager at car dealerships seemed to wear a gold and stainless Submariner. The Sub is a nice watch (I like it in all steel) but the bi metal design seemed tiresome after a while. Piaget's co...

...the perpetual calendar also. It's got a well designed dial IMO. You are a lucky duck to have FOUR Piaget boutiques in Tokyo: click here . Cheers, Daos

Wow, 4?

Please ask your contact to tell you if and when there is some event in Tokyo boutique.... I would LOVE to be there.... Ken

Hmm interesting models

I have to see the Piaget Polo FortyFive Perpetual in person to make judgement. However, my first opinion is I see the FortyFive line as more a sporty line rather than one which houses complications such as perpetual calendar. Does anyone else feel this wa... 

Very attractive

Big fan of the Forty Five series. The Flyback Chrono being my most favourite model.

My fave...

...is the open-dial FortyFive! The strap on these watches is also killer! Cheers, Daos

That would be an interesting option.

I actually like the rubber bracelet with metal gadroons. It's the most comfortable rubber strap I've ever worn. Cheers, Daos
