Piaget Polo S Launch at Nobu Restaurant

By | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

In a celebration of elegance and distinction, Rustan’s, together with City of Dreams Manila, launches Piaget’s new steel timepiece made for a new generation—the Piaget Polo S.piaget-polo-s-launch-at-nobu-restaurant-4Based on the much-loved, iconic Piaget Polo watch that was first released in 1979, the new timepiece is geared for today’s generation of “game changers.”

Featuring an ingenious shape-within-shape that is Piaget’s distinctive hallmark, the Piaget Polo S displays the unique association of a cushion-shaped dial within a round 42mm case. Its automatic movement discreetly reveals its beauty through a sapphire case-back. Some would call this timepiece with a bracelet watch instead of a wrist watch, sporting a meticulously hand-assembled links alternatingly polished and with a satin finish that completes the look. The result? A watch that – by day or by night, at work or at play – speaks to and for a new generation.piaget-polo-s-launch-at-nobu-restaurant-6The full collection is composed of the automatic Piaget Polo S, equipped with the 1110P movement available in blued, silvered, or slated-gray dial, and the Piaget Polo S Chronograph, equipped with the 1160P movement available in a silvered or blue dial. Both of these movements have been developed specially for the Piaget Polo S.

During the launch at the Nobu Restaurant, City of Dreams, guests marvelled at the remarkable collection, and had a hand at trying on the timepieces for themselves. piaget-polo-s-launch-at-nobu-restaurant-3President of the Rustan Commercial Corporation Donnie Tantoco said a few words to welcome the guests, and to honour the established partnership of the Piaget brand and Rustan’s. piaget-polo-s-launch-at-nobu-restaurant-2To take it a step further, guests were also invited to experience the elegant and daring sport that is Polo. For the first time ever, Piaget created a Piaget’s 360° virtual reality experience like never before, that allowed guests to play Polo through the eyes of a professional player with a VR Unit. piaget-polo-s-launch-at-nobu-restaurant-1 The night was truly a celebration of Piaget’s uncompromising quality and excellence, as well as the undeniable audacity of its style. Guests were able to have an interesting experience over delectable dinner, delicious cocktails, and time well spent with good company.

Discover the great craftsmanship and the passion for daring creativity of Piaget with Rustan’s.

Piaget is exclusively available in Silver Vault Rustan’s Makati and City of Dreams Manila.
