The new Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase
Raising the stakes, the sporty Polo welcomes two complications housed in a lightweight titanium case and powered by a Piaget ultra-thin shaped calibre.

Piaget’s luxury sports watch, the Polo, is inspired by the brand’s iconic solid gold 1979 Polo quartz model with horizontal gadroons running across the dial and the integrated bracelet. Revamped from head to toe in 2016 in steel with mechanical movements, the Polo family is represented by complications small and large, from time and date all the way up to chronographs, ultra-thin perpetual calendars and skeletonised models. Marking a first for the collection, the new Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase raises the complication stakes with an anti-gravity regulator and astronomical moon phase combo housed inside an elegantly thin yet sporty titanium case with a blue dial. The new watch is powered by Piaget’s ultra-thin calibre 642P, first seen inside the 2012 Gouverneur Tourbillon.
While the Polo’s stylish cushion-shaped case has appeared in gold and steel, the only other model with a trace of titanium was the Ceramic Skeleton, released in 2024. The new Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase sports a 44mm titanium case. Thanks to the ultra-slim 642P manual-winding movement, the case is fairly slim, at 9.8mm. Given the complications on board and the skeletonised area of the dial, it is reassuring to know that the watch retains its 100m depth rating.
Alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces, the lightweight titanium case pays homage to its 1979 forbear and features blue PVD gadroons on the flanks, matching the blue ridges traversing the dial and the interchangeable blue ribbed rubber strap. The hollowed-out areas on the case flanks resemble the streamlined speed lines prevalent in the 1930s and add a sporty touch.
Blue is a hallmark colour of Piaget, and the dial flaunts a blue gadrooned background that frames the two complications in the centre of the dial enclosed in a figure eight formation. The top section of the figure eight houses the flying tourbillon, and the moon phases appear at 6 o’clock. The two complications are positioned above a cushion-shaped, openworked area of the dial, revealing the motion works and decorated with perlage. The applied indices and hands are filled with luminescent material.
Framed by a blue ring for the running seconds, the flying tourbillon is suspended in a transparent well and visible from both sides of the watch. Similar to the shaped tourbillon of the jaw-dropping Piaget Polo Emperador high jewellery model, the tourbillon cage features a stylised P on top.
The lower lobe of the figure eight hosts four silver-coloured representations of the Moon (new, first quarter, full and last quarter), which are set against a ribbed blue background and indicated by a silvery hand. As a precision astronomical moon phase indicator, the watch will only need a one-day correction every 122 years. In case the watch is not wound regularly, there is a corrector on the case at 9 o’clock.
Piaget’s ultra-thin, manual-winding calibre 642P with a 3Hz flying tourbillon escapement and moon phases has a thickness of just 4mm. This rectangular-shaped movement with its lightweight titanium cage for the flying tourbillon was first used inside the Gouverneur Tourbillon. Although the screw-down caseback hides most of the 642P movement inside the Polo, the finishes are in line with Piaget’s high standards.
The Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase is delivered with an additional blue alligator strap that can be changed in seconds thanks to a fast-release system. The watch retails for EUR 113,000 (incl. tax) and is limited to 88 pieces. More information at Piaget.com.
