Piaget finds themselves in the limelight with new Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin
Zach BlassPiaget 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.
