Piaget Polo Minute Repeater
Piaget has introduced the Polo Minute Repeater, a white gold watch that combines the sporty design of the Polo line with a minute repeater complication. This new model utilizes the ultra-thin caliber 1290P, previously seen in the 2013 Piaget Polo Emperador Minute Repeater, and is available in a standard version with a partially openworked dial and a high jewelry edition with extensive diamond and sapphire embellishments and a fully openworked dial. Production is limited to five pieces annually due to the intricate handcrafting involved.
- 48mm diameter case
- 9.3mm case thickness
- 18k white gold case material
- Calibre 1290P automatic movement
- 40-hour power reserve

The standard version features a blue dial with a soleillé guilloché texture, while the haute jewelry edition has a fully openworked dial.
The watch combines Piaget's signature sporty elegance of the Polo case, its ultra-thin DNA, and mastery of complications.
The minute repeater chimes at 64 decibels, which is louder than most traditional repeater watches.
The dial brings together mechanics and decorative craftsmanship, featuring a shaped aperture that reveals parts of the movement.
The movement's platinum micro-rotor is decorated in the same blue as the dial.
Piaget claims a sound volume of 64 decibels for the minute repeater.
The movement contains several 0.12mm-thin gears, which are only four hundredths of a millimeter thicker than a human hair.
The movement is finished with hand-bevelled bridges, a guilloché mainplate, and mirror-polished repeater hammers.
