Piaget Answered the Royal Oak in Solid Gold. The New Polo 79 Is Stunning, and a Fantasy at CHF 84,500.
Gerald Genta's steel Royal Oak and Nautilus get the integrated-sports-watch credit. Piaget answered in 1979 by going the other way: solid gold, ultra-thin, and originally quartz. The 2026 Polo 79 in white gold with a sodalite dial revives that idea beautifully, and asks CHF 84,500 for a time-only watch. A working dealer's read on the design, the honest price, and where real Piaget value sits pre-owned.
