Piaget has a lot of in-house know-how within their manufacture, and this has allowed them to be not only a champion of ultra-thin watchmaking but also exquisite jewellery watches as well. After a ‘touch and feel’ session within the Piaget booth, Kylie and I stepped outside to react to two different segments of their novelty offerings. First, Kylie offers a quick overview of the new Limelight High Jewelry watch – also pointing out a rather sexy fact that may be a source of national pride for our Aussie readers. Then, I jump in and break down both the steel and rose gold configurations of the new Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin.For the full lowdown you will need to watch the video above, but below you can find the specifications of each offering.Piaget Limelight High Jewelry watchBrandPiagetModelLimelight High Jewelry watchCase Dimensions27mm x 22 mm x 6.5mmCase MaterialWhite gold set with emeraldWater Resistance30 metresCrystal(s)Sapphire crystal and exhibition casebackDialOpalStrapWhite gold braceletMovementQuartzPower ReserveN/AFunctionsHours, minutesAvailabilityAvailable nowPricePOAPiaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-ThinBrandPiagetModelPolo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-ThinCase Dimensions42mm (D) x 8.65mm (T) x 47mm (LTL)Case MaterialStainless steel or 18k pink goldWater Resistance30 metresCrystal(s)Sapphire crystal and exhibition casebackDialGreenStrapStainless steel: Interchangeable stainless steel and bracelet and green rubber strapRose gold: Green rubber and green alligator, 18k pink gold hardware, quick-exchangeMovementCalibre 1255P, in-house, micro-rotorPower Reserve42 hoursFunctionsHours, minutes, perpetual calendar with moonphaseAvailabilityAvailable nowPriceA$95,000 (steel), A$122,000 (rose gold)Editor’s note: We have since done a full dedicated hands-on review of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin in rose gold.
