Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moon Phase
Since its creation in 1979, the Piaget Polo has established itself as a benchmark of sport-chic style, blending sophistication with technical prowess. As a pioneer in watchmaking, the Swiss maison continues to innovate and, in 2025, pushes its exploration of horological complications even further with a new edition: the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase. This model combines a flying tourbillon with an astronomical moonphase, two of the most emblematic complications in watchmaking.
Piaget thus continues to cultivate its expertise in ultra-thin watches while integrating modern design cues and lightweight materials such as titanium. A closer look at this new release, which marks another step in the evolution of the Polo collection.
A design faithful to the Polo’s DNA
From the outset, the Piaget Polo has always sought to unite elegance and innovation. This new version retains the collection’s visual identity with its cushion-shaped dial set within a round case—a subtle contrast that plays with shapes and reflections.
The 44 mm case is crafted in titanium with a finish alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces, giving the watch an appreciable lightness while ensuring excellent resistance. Blue, Piaget’s signature colour, is omnipresent on the dial, with gadroons that recall the first Polo models of 1979 and visually structure the whole.
Another notable feature: the watch adopts a bluish crown insert achieved through PVD treatment, a process that improves colour durability while enhancing the model’s overall aesthetic harmony.
A double complication pairing a flying tourbillon and moonphase
The key strength of this new Piaget Polo lies in its combination of two major complications:
- A flying tourbillon positioned at 12 o’clock, seemingly suspended on the dial, visually lightening the watch. This mechanism, proven on the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon, brings an undeniable technical and aesthetic dimension.
- An astronomical moonphase located at 6 o’clock, displaying lunar cycles with remarkable accuracy, as it will take 122 years before an adjustment is required.
The moon display can be adjusted via a corrector positioned at 9 o’clock, an operation that remains straightforward despite the complexity of the underlying mechanism.
A high-precision ultra-thin movement
Piaget designed this new Polo around the calibre 642P, a manual-winding movement directly inspired by the 600P, considered at launch to be the world’s thinnest shaped tourbillon.
With an overall thickness of 4 mm, this movement remains true to the tradition of ultra-thin watches that has made the Swiss maison’s reputation. Despite its slender profile, it manages to incorporate the components required for the moonphase display without compromising the mechanism’s precision or reliability.
The tourbillon cage, sculpted in the shape of a P, is a Piaget aesthetic signature that reinforces the model’s identity and highlights the skeletonisation work carried out on the piece.
A watch designed for everyday elegance
While the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase stands out for its technical excellence, it remains above all a watch designed for comfortable everyday wear. Its 9.8 mm thickness keeps it discreet on the wrist, and its clean design allows it to pair just as well with an elegant suit as with a more casual outfit.
Thanks to its titanium case, it remains very light despite its 44 mm diameter—an appreciable advantage for a watch that still looks imposing.
The sapphire caseback offers a view of the hand-decorated movement, a finish that reflects Piaget’s attention to detail.
A watch that continues Piaget’s tradition of innovation
With this Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase, Piaget reaffirms its status as a pioneer of ultra-thin watches and sophisticated complications. Integrating a flying tourbillon and a moonphase into a slim, lightweight case demonstrates the brand’s ability to push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking.
While this watch is aimed primarily at high watchmaking enthusiasts, it also appeals thanks to its balanced, modern design, making it accessible to a broader audience.
