Today's offering showcases this handsome and classic mid-century Audemars Piguet mens dress watch.
Featuring an elegant case with long downward turned lugs and a classic dial (face), it possesses timeless elegance and class. And equipped with an extremely high-grade, original Audemars Piguet movement designed to maintain very accurate timekeeping even across a wide range of temperatures and positions, it showcases top tier Swiss watchmaking.
The screw back waterproof style case also has an inner antimagnetic cover.
Just slightly larger than midsized, it is the size of many of AP's dress watches from this era. 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 is bright and clean, possibly a well-done refinishing.
One of our watchmakers has just disassembled the watch down to its last screw and serviced it. It is clean and keeping time within a few seconds per day.
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.
