THE DOMINANCE of all-steel sports watches-particularly those designed by Gérald Genta, like the Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak-is fading among watch collectors.

And into both moments Piaget is releasing its defining timepiece. Meet the proudly gold Piaget Polo. Again.
To celebrate the brand's 150th anniversary, Piaget has brought out the Polo 79, a faithful take on a watch once worn by everyone from Miles Davis to Andy Warhol to Björn Borg. "It's a timeless icon," says Alain Borgeaud, Piaget's director of patrimony. But the Polo, reborn at 45 years old, is exactly the right watch for right now too.
