Likely to find aliens before Patek 5711

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there’s something a little crazy going on with the Patek Philippe Nautilus right now. You’re more likely to find aliens in your local Patek Philippe boutique than you are a 5711, and if and when you do happen to see one up for sale, it’s commanding prices some three times its RRP. I mean, by the time this goes out, that might even be a bargain—it’s that out of control. But there’s another option for those with neither the power, influence nor cash to find their way into this enigma, and it’s called the Piaget Polo S.

[h=3]PIAGET POLO S WATCH[/h] A new man’s model with a strong character, this automatic watch has a casual elegance that is ideal for every occasion. Available with a polished and satin-brushed steel bracelet, merging perfectly with its curved case, this masculine luxury watch has contemporary lines and is remarkably comfortable to wear. Housed in a case-middle combining round and cushion-shaped forms in the purest Piaget aesthetic tradition, the blue horizontal guilloché dial, divided up by luminescent applied hour-markers, displays hours, minutes and seconds, and the date at 6 o’clock. The 42 mm-diameter steel case, water-resistant to 10 ATM, displays an elegant interplay of alternating polished and satin-brushed finishes. Its sapphire crystal case back reveals the refined finishings of the new Piaget 1110P Manufacture automatic movement and its anthracite-gray oscillating weight, engraved with the Piaget coat-of-arms. As the ultimate aesthetic detail, the trotteuse hand is decorated with an openworked letter “P”, the symbol of the famous Swiss watchmaker.
