Piaget just released a novelty in its emblematic Polo line, the Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase. The new titanium timepiece features a moonphase display at 6 o’clock and a manual winding flying tourbillon ultra-thin movement.

The Maison introduced last autumn a special piece in the Polo collection, the first ever ceramic Piaget timepiece, the Polo Skeleton Ceramic. Now the Polo watch is yet again in the spotlight with a novelty, which combines a flying tourbillon with an astronomical moonphase display.

Ultra-thin is at the heart of the Maison Piaget’s culture and history as more than 25 ultra-thin movements have been developed throughout the decades. The 44 mm-diameter titanium novelty has an overall thickness of 9.8 mm. The watch is powered by the 642P caliber – an 4 mm ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical tourbillon with moon-phase indicator.

The cushion-shaped dial is paired with the circular case, creating contrast in the piece’s form and highlighting the dial. In perfect harmony with the hue of the titanium case the watch displays shades of blue and grey – the dial has the Polo’s classic stripe-structured surface in blue, while the case includes blue case flanks and a blue crown insert, matching the dial with their shade and their gadroons.

The moonphase indicator sits at 6 o’clock with four silver-coloured moon representations. As the Maison states, it would take 122 years to build up a single day’s difference between Calibre 642P’s 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.
