Fernando Torres receives the first Piaget Polo Fortyfive watch in Spain

Philippe Léopold Metzger, the CEO of Piaget, and Moisés Chocrón, the Director General of Chocrón Joyeros, which distributes the Piaget brand in Madrid and Ceuta, presented the first Piaget Polo FortyFive watch available in Spain to Fernando Torres, a member of Liverpool FC and of the Spanish national football team. The presentation took place on Friday, 29th May at the Chocrón boutique in Madrid.
Chocrón Joyeros and Fernando Torres enjoy a close bond of friendship.
In addition, the Liverpool FC footballer, who has scored some fifty goals for his club in scarcely two years, shares several common values with Piaget.
“Always do better than necessary” is the catchphrase of the founder of the celebrated watchmaking brand. The Spanish striker’s dazzling career is characterised by this desire to excel and surpass personal limits, which are equally dear to Piaget.
30 years ago, the brand broke new ground with the release of a sport-chic watch, the now legendary Piaget Polo.
To celebrate the anniversary of this mythical collection, Piaget is launching a new model that enhances the range with a sportier feel.

This new model houses a Manufacture Piaget self-winding movement and is available in either a self-winding version with hours, minutes, seconds and a large date window, or a chronograph flyback version. The use of titanium combined with steel and injected rubber gives the watch a resolutely contemporary feel, while a diameter of 45 mm demonstrates its generous proportions.

Created to mark the 30th anniversary of the range, the Piaget Polo FortyFive watch inaugurates a new era of success.
