Swiss watchmaker and jeweler Piaget's long and successful relationship with the prestigious "Sport of Kings" will again be demonstrated on Saturday, May 30th.  On that date, the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic on New York's Governors Island will commence, buoyed by the highly anticipated contest between polo luminary Nacho Figueras and HRH Prince Henry of Wales, who happens to be making his very first trip to the United States for an exhibition match.   Piaget is the official timekeeper.

Adding additional fire to the competitive heat of the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Classic polo match is the delightful prize that Piaget will bestow upon the victorious team.  Winners will leave the podium wearing the Piaget Polo FortyFive timepiece, a dynamic new 45mm variation upon the quintessential Piaget high-luxury wristwatch. 

Crafted from an alluring combination of brushed and polished titanium and stainless steel, the elegantly sporty Polo FortyFive houses a Piaget manufacture self-winding movement with central seconds and a rapidly adjustable date function.  A stylish and comfortable strap in injection molded rubber compliments the sophisticated finishes of the case and dial, while echoing sublime design cues considered inseparable from several generations of the Polo watch.  The Piaget Polo FortyFive carries a price tag of $11,900.
