Today's offering showcases this handsome and classic thin Audemars Piguet mens dress watch in gorgeous restored condition.

Featuring an elegant case with thin bezel and a classic dial (face), it possesses timeless elegance and class. And equipped with an extremely fine, original Audemars Piguet movement, it showcases top tier Swiss watchmaking. It has the same look as the ultra thin dress watches but without a cal. 2001 movement - this one is slightly thicker and higher grade.

Like only the very finest watches in the world - select watches from the likes of Patek, AP, and V & C, it is adjusted to five positions, heat, cold, and even isochronism (the amount of wind left in the movement).

It measures 33.4mm in diameter without the crown.

Epitomizing the essence of "'the classic watch" remembered today, watches like this made by Patek, Vacheron & AP feature a manually wound movement, round gold cases, understated dial, slender hands, and simple baton markers. As one writer aptly stated, "The extra-slim watch, whose style embraces only the strict essentials, has continued to seduce for its elegance and discretion."

We were fortunate to acquire it with all of its original parts down to the hands and winding crown. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration.

The case has a crisp hallmark and sharp lines. It has had light restoration work done on the underside of the lugs. It presents as mint on the wrist. The dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Audemars Piguet factory done to the naked eye.

A Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled it. The movement is running strong and true and is near pristine!

For the finishing touch we have installed a new band making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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.
