PIAGET – POLO Flying Tourbillon Moonphase Titanium Edition

 

PIAGET POLO Flying Tourbillon Moonphase Titanium 44 mm Edition 2025

Appearing in titanium, in shades of blue and grey, the Piaget Polo watch continues to explore contemporary complications. Its language never deviates from the signature codes of Piaget’s style: the most graceful thinness, the most daring materials, the most innate elegance.

 A true icon of the watchmaking world since its launch in 1979, the Piaget Polo embraced the ‘sport chic’ trend in its own unique way by unveiling a bracelet watch carved from pure gold. Today, it is venturing even further. Having proudly displayed the colours of a masterful skeleton movement since 2021, elevated by an ultra-thin perpetual calendar in 2023, the Piaget Polo watch is yet again taking up position on the complications podium in 2025 by combining a flying tourbillon with an astronomical moonphase display.

After its majestic reign on the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon watch, the flying tourbillon will now exhibit its beating heart on another of Maison Piaget’s star watch cases, following on from this exploit of ultra-thin elegance.

To celebrate the debut of a complication as poetic as it is emblematic, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase is stepping into the spotlight wearing Piaget’s most iconic colour: blue, the Maison’s long-standing visual signature.

Refined

This Piaget style signature, which defines the piece’s aesthetics, is paired with another, deeply rooted in technique. Asserting the Maison’s inherent mastery in ultra-thin watchmaking, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase boasts an overall thickness of 9.8 mm.

This stems from the calibre that drives it, the 642P, which itself is just 4 mm thick. Extravagantly defying expectations, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase displays a 44 mm-diameter titanium case alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces.

Light, yet extremely strong, this material has earned its place among the noblest of alloys, not for its rarity but for its exceptional performance. This includes its ability to retain all its properties when it is coloured using the PVD technique. This latest creation presents blue case flanks and a blue crown insert, matching the dial with their shade and their gadroons, a visual signature that has set the tempo for the Piaget Polo collection since its inception in 1979.

Calibrated

Beneath the aesthetic qualities of the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase, the Maison fully expresses its mastery of horological savoir-faire. The creator of dozens of calibres, and master of all complications from the simplest to the rarest, the Piaget Manufacture in La Côte-aux-Fées is home to the highest standards of craftsmanship.

With its exceptional tools, it has poured its soul into the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase

Piaget has drawn on its history as a designer, developer and maker of mechanical movements with complications to deliver a new version of its calibre 600P, once hailed as the thinnest shaped tourbillon ever imagined.

The hand-wound Calibre 642P also possesses this attribute. With an overall thickness of 4 mm, it mirrors the 600P’s ultra-thin architecture, its flying tourbillon, and its finely worked tourbillon cage in the shape of a stylised P. It also encases the components required to display the moonphase, with an imperceptible increase in thickness of just 0.5 mm.

With the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase standing for both discretion and performance, this celestial complication was duty-bound to harmonise with the piece as a whole. That is why the moonphase is shown with a precision described as ‘astronomical’.

The relative speeds of the Earth and its satellite means that their cycles are slightly out of sync. Moonphase mechanisms vary in their ability to reflect this mismatch.

Thanks to Piaget’s horological expertise and uncompromising technical precision, it would take 122 years to build up a single day’s difference between Calibre 642Ps display and the reality of the night sky.  This misalignment can be rectified by adjusting the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase’s moon display using the corrector at 9 o’clock.

Exuding allure

Watchmaking is a meritocracy, where titles are earned through a consistent approach. Piaget never deviates from this guiding principle.

By creating model after model, spanning collections and decades, the Maison strives to offer a vision of the watch centred on discreet pleasure, unconventional elegance, and a vision of quality rooted in the wearing experience. Here, a cushion-shaped dial is paired with a circular case, creating contrast in the piece’s form and highlighting the dial.

On one side, the wearer can admire the motion work and the moonphase display at 6 o’clock, while on the other, a clear sapphire crystal shows off the movement...

Only when the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase is slipped onto the wrist does it fully reveal its true nature: fine, streamlined, light and comfortable, with unfailing sophistication.
