Worn by: Robert De Niro as Sam "Ace" Rothstein
Reference: Piaget Polo
Brand: Piaget
The Piaget Polo with its striking red dial (gold case with red dial and integrated gold bracelet) is pure 1970s Vegas excess—a watch that screams rather than whispers. While the understated Bueche Girod represents Ace's sophistication, the loud Piaget Polo reflects the garish side of his personality that ultimately destroys him. The watch matches Scorsese's deliberately over-the-top costume design—the film was initially criticized for being too kitsch before being celebrated for authentically capturing the era's aesthetic. Just as Ace cannot resist the spotlight (hosting his own TV show despite mob orders to stay invisible), the red-dialed Piaget cannot be ignored. It's the watch of a man at the height of his power who has forgotten that in the mob, being noticed gets you killed. The integrated gold bracelet and bold color symbolize Ace's fatal flaw: his need for recognition and validation.
