Press release
In 2009, Hublot teamed up with this extraordinary event: for the first time in history, an "80 Goals" match was held outside of Argentina, at "Polo de Paris". Ten of the world's twelve best polo players clashed at Bagatelle in an exceptional match dubbed "Hublot, the Perfect Polo Match". To mark this big European premier, Hublot created a Big Bang with the effigy of the Paris club, which bears the "Polo de Paris" logo on its dial, and the "Hublot, the Perfect Polo Match" transfer on its case-back.
