Every watch manufacture has one or more iconic models that have enjoyed great popularity for years. For Piaget, the Polo watch line is one of them.

Piaget has unveiled the limited Altiplano Skeleton High Jewellery Métiers d’Art. This watch showcases the brand’s expertise in ultra-thin mechanics, gem-setting, and cloisonné enamelling.

If there’s one thing Piaget is known for, it’s gold. One of the only horology houses to cast its own gold, Piaget’s work with the material has long been recognised in the industry, from its so-called ‘coin watches’ of the 1940s to its first ground-breaking gold Polo watches. Only in 2016 were the sporty steel Polo S iterations of…
