For the first time, Piaget welcomes ceramic into its watchmaking repertoire – marking a new milestone for the Piaget Polo Skeleton collection.
Taking three years to develop, the Piaget Polo Skeleton fuses ceramic with the Maison’s art of skeletonisation. With a striking, jet-black finish set in the Polo’s ultra-thin, second skin like signature, the design is an invitation to see beyond the obvious – injecting a bold modernity into Piaget’s most iconic watchmaking collection.
In 2021, the dynamism and lightness of the Piaget Polo Skeleton, powered by the in-house calibre 1200S1, welcomed an unexpected new look: bridges treated with daring blue or grey colour. Highlighting the depth and texture of Piaget’s openwork expertise, the pieces reignited the Piaget Polo’s original creativity and flamboyance, and was followed up in 2024 with the Only Watch unique piece. Featuring striking, multicolour layers of green, blue and rose gold skeletonised brides, the daring piece set the stage for the Polo Skeleton Ceramic.
The biggest challenge was the watch’s development, where ceramic is seamlessly fused with Piaget’s ultra-thin DNA and aesthetic. Producing and finishing such slim, waterproof, yet robust ceramic components was a true feat of engineering and design, and a watchmaking first. It required the Manufacture to completely reconsider the watch’s existing constructions and build a new case from the ground up.
Anchoring the new construction is a special titanium container that houses the ceramic case and components. The titanium container is treated with black DLC to match the dark profile of the watch’s ceramic components, which includes a two-part case, crown and bezel. Exuding a strong and powerful, tone-on-tone look with subtle grey shades, the new Piaget Polo Skeleton Ceramic brings everyday extravagance and cool to the wrist – while achieving a thickness of just 7.5mm. This is only 1mm above the existing Piaget Polo Skeleton steel and gold models – and a rare feat for a skeleton model housing an automatic winding system.
Powered by the Manufacture 1200S1 ultra-thin self-winding calibre, the watch’s jet-black aesthetic is contrasted by striking Superluminova accents: on the indexes and hands, and now for the first time, the Piaget logo on the oscillating weight. This brings a unique dynamism to the design, complemented by the added versatility of the SingleTouch interchangeable strap system, first introduced on the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin black in 2023. The watch can be fitted with either a black rubber strap with a steel and titanium folding strap, or an additional blue rubber strap.
Audacious, daring and a mark of distinction, the new Piaget Polo Skeleton Ceramic opens a new chapter for the Maison. Rooted in the original codes of the Piaget Polo’s disruptive design – with its refined proportions and joyful mix of everyday sophistication – the Piaget Polo Skeleton Ceramic is a testament to Piaget’s watchmaking savoir-faire and pioneering spirit.
