Today's offering showcases this handsome and classic vintage Audemars Piguet mens dress watch.

Featuring an elegant case with long downward turned lugs and a classic vintage dial (face) with distinctive pyramidal markers, it possesses timeless elegance and class.

And equipped with an extremely high-grade, original Audemars Piguet caliber 2001 movement designed to maintain very accurate timekeeping even across a wide range of temperatures and positions, it showcases top tier Swiss watchmaking.

Slightly larger than midsized, it is the size of many of AP's dress watches from this era and larger than their small midsize watches.

Its has original parts down to the dial and all hands. The only replacement is the crown, which is a vintage replacement and correctly unsigned.

Its case is in excellent condition. Its dial has been restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America.

Our Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any worn components with new genuine AP replacements, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value).

It is keeping very accurate time.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
