Piaget Dials Up Watches With Its Thinnest Perpetual Calendar To Date

Piaget has a history of creating the thinnest calibers in the industry since the launch of its 2mm manually wound caliber 9P in 1957 and the automatic 12P, which came in at 2.3mm in 1960.
 
Over the years, the company has honed in on its expertise to create ultra-thin movements. However, it has mainly stuck to time-only watches, and not perpetual and annual calendars.

That is until now. Piaget is reworking its iconic Polo watch and crafting the thinnest perpetual calendar. For those unaware, a perpetual calendar is the mechanics in a clock that can give the advanced time, date, and year until the year 2100, taking into account leap years as well. On the other hand, an annual calendar only showcases the day, date, and month.
 
The brand builds this upon its 12P mechanism and its latest 1255P ultra-thin caliber (4mm). This allows the perpetual calendar to work with a moon-phase system. It is then placed inside a 42mm case, which measures 8.65mm thick.

The Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin is topped off with an emerald green face that shifts in the light and is paired with a bracelet and a complimentary rubber strap. Thanks to the addition of Piaget’s SingleTouch system, users can swap between both.
 
The timepiece will be available in September. More details can be found on the company’s website.
